It is not too tough to use Zmodem within kermit.  The bin distribution
of 386bsd comes with rz as well as kermit so you don't really need a
term program to use zmodem to download to 386bsd.  If you also need to
upload you can get the source to rzsz at many anon ftp sites and build
sz.

To zmodem download to your 386bsd box using kermit: Start your session
with kermit.  On the other end start the zmodem transfer (on UNIX
systems use "sz [filename]").  On your side enter the escape
characters (prob. ^\c).  At the C-Kermit prompt enter:
"!rz <> /dev/com0" (or whatever tty you are using).
