I don't know much about the kermit package you are using, but Procomm
has many other protocals besides kermit available.  I frequently 
use many local BBS's which do not support kermit.  The ability to
up/down load files to these systems is very important to me.  And the
cost is almost next to nothing - $25 (you can try it out for free).

There are a number of other features that I like, but since I am not
familier with your kermit package, I really can't compare them.
