Yes, there is a VM kermit and it works nicely with the unix version if
you use the appropriate "set" commands to accomodate the half duplex
nature of the connection.  I use a combination of unix shell scripts,
kermit 'take' files, CMS exec files and filename conventions for a crude
but working automatic file transfer mechanism.  Now, if I could find a
file based PROFS mail interface...
