I know there is an RSDOS Kermit. I tried it once, long ago and I couldn't get
it to talk to UNIX Kermit. I did not spend much time on it. Lately, I have
been using Wiz (Frank Hogg) which includes xmodem and Kermit (OS9). I
couldn't get Xmodem to work so I tried Kermit and it did work, though a bit
slow. The Kermit portion of the Wiz package is separate and you have to
suspend Wiz, switch to another window and start up Kermit for connects, gets,
sends, etc. 

Kermit uses the standard aciapak/t2 driver and descriptor and Wiz uses its
own versions. The kermit connect works fine for a terminal emulator and the
reason I use Wiz is for its auto login, print-through and/or VT52 emulation.
Not much Kermit doc is supplied and no support. It is provided as a service
to the user. I am not sure of the version number, if it is current or who did
the port. Source is not provided.

I think Kermit is available in the OS9 User Group library and possibly on
Delphi or CompuServe.
