I have fooled with Kermit x-fers and have found some VERY intersting things
about it:

When x-fered from an Apple to a Mac, the mac registers MORE blocks coming
through than the Apple registers going through.  It does NOT affect the x-fer
in any way that I have found as the text file was sent error free.

I thinkI remember hearing that Kermit was made specifically for different
computer x-fers, but my sources may be wrong.  All I know is that it seems
slower that a normal x-fer on the Apple side and FASTER on the Mac side. 
Maybe I could get an IBM to fool with it...
