:Well, I pretty much gave up on Procomm after 1000-byte packets were added

:my courses! :-). 

ZCOMM has supported Long Packet Kermit for just over a year
now.  The block size can be as much as 1000 bytes.  PibTerm
also supports Long Packet Kermit.

On ZCOMM, Kermit downloads are automatic, including proper
selection of parity/quoting.
