Kermit does kermit file transfer, not Zmodem, and I am hoping to upload 
from DOS to linux not vice versa.  I will figure this out eventually.
Kermit does automatic downloads but when I logged in it apparently tried 
to transfer from the host computer to the host computer (root account) not 
to the DOS computer.  I can also do a kermit transfer without logging in.
If I get telnet working over serial cable I can easily do file transfers 
with kermit (I think).

I was very surprised that it worked but the terminal emulation did not 
work well at my bbs in Pine.  (Nettamer's VT100 is not very good either).
