I got jyu.fi!c64/telecomm/kermit2p2a.sda and it garbles lowercase letters.  For example,
if I type a line of lowercase x's, it comes out like this:
XxxXXxXxXxxXxxXXXxXXXXXxXxXxX

I downloaded kermit2p2a.sda to my C64 using XMODEM about three times, and it
always does this.  None of the other terminal emulators I used have this problem.
(XMOBUF, XMODEM, Multiterm, CCGMS6.1, VTERMITE, WTERMITE, MACHTERM).  The Self-dissolving 
archive seems to dissolve without complaint.  And I can then LOAD "BOOT",8,1 
which loads "KERMIT" and runs it.  

Is there a checksum program?  Could someone mail or post the checksum of the KERMIT produced?

Has anyone else used this particular KERMIT?  (I.e., gotten it from jyu.fi (tukki) and run it.)

By the way, this is from tukki:
incoming/cbm/c64.telecom:
total 92

-rw-rw-rw-  1 ftp      staff       29824 Jan 26 12:51 kermit2p2a.sda
-rw-rw-rw-  1 ftp      staff       44288 Jan 26 12:52 kermit2p2b.sda

So it looks like I have the file length right, anyway.
