I can supply XMODEM and Kermit binaries on RS XENIX 8" diskettes if you send
them to me with a self-addressed and stamped mailer.  I run both XMODEM and
kermit at 9600 between a 16B+ and various PC clones (to tell the truth, I'm
using a PS 2/70 16MHz as a terminal connected to a 6000 as I *hate* using
MS-DOS - it makes a mediocre terminal :-) ).   The standard UNIX sources
compile under XENIX without problems (there is a 68K XENIX define in
the Kermit distribution, umodem40/41.c and sz/rz also work fine.
