The reason why it doesn't like as if it came with xmodem or Kermit is that it
doesn't; it's not hidden away somewhere.

The source to a UNIX version of Kermit is provided with the 4.3BSD tape, and I
think it is available by FTP if you can get somebody on the Internet to fetch
it.  It may be available in one of the source archives on UUNET as well.

The source to "umodem", which claims to implement the "CP/M User's Group
XMODEM" protocol as well as the "TERM II File Transfer Protocol (FTP) Number 1"
and the "TERM II File Transfer Protocol Number 4", also comes with the 4.3BSD
tape, and it is probably publicly available as well.

Check with any local sites that you know; they may have either or both of them.
