I kermit binary files from a 4.3 BSD UNIX host to my amiga all the time.  On
the unix side, I put my kermit into server/binary mode with:

	kermit -x -i

and then I put the Amiga/VT100 kermit into binary mode.  I have yet had this
fail to work.  In fact, I even do this while I am logged into the machine
over an rlogin TCP connection.

Just make sure that both ends are in binary mode.  This works all the time,
even when transferring text files since the UNIX idea of newline is the same
as the Amiga's idea of a newline.

Try it, you'll like it.
