Kermit for the NeXT has been out all along.  You can anonymously ftp download
it from j.cc.purdue.edu or from cs.orst.edu, but you'll probably hate it.
I recommend that you get xmodem or zmodem as they are a bit easier to use
(at least in my experience).

Now, my plug for the day, I have made HitchHiker1.1, which makes serial port
easy enough for even a beginner to use.  HitchHiker.aux included binaries for
xmodem and zmodem.  You can get HitchHiker from anonymous ftp sites.  If you
don't like something in HitchHiker, you can purchase the source code and modify
it yourself.
