I was looking at the 520ST the other day in a store, and trying to find out
about software for it.  My main needs would be for a text editor and a
telecommunications and terminal emulation package.  For the latter, I was
pointed to PC Intercomm, which sells for $124.95.  There was a guy there who
had been using it for a while and recommended it highly (he didn't work for
the store), and he said it "included" Kermit.

First question: can I get just Kermit for the 520ST (i.e., public domain,
from a users' group or something)?

Second question, for those who have used PC Intercomm:  What does it have
beyond the Kermit protocol?  Assuming Kermit is or soon will be available
for free, why spend $125 for PC Intercomm?
