I've set up MS-Kermit 3.15 (ftp://kermit.columbia.edu/kermit/bin/msvibm.zip) 
as an external protocol under Max 2.02/DOS and wonder if anyone else has done 
similar:
Protocol MS-Kermit
        Type Batch
        Logfile         MSK%K.log
        ControlFile     MSK%K.ctl
        Downloadcmd     e:\received\kermit\msk315l log transaction MSK%K.log, 
set port fossil %P, bsend @MSK%K.ctl
        Uploadcmd       e:\received\kermit\msk315l log transaction MSK%K.log, 
set port fossil %P, cd %v, r
        DownloadString  %s
        UploadString
        DownloadKeyword Sent
        UploadKeyword   Recv
        FilenameWord    1
        DescriptWord    0
End Protocol
e:\max\mskermit.ini:
        
  echo running mskermit.ini
  SET PARITY NONE          ; Usually no parity on BBS
  SET BLOCK 3              ; CRC checking for security 
  SET RECEIVE PACKET 2000  ; Long packets from client, upper limit
  SET WINDOW 4             ; Sliding windows, upper limit
  SET FILE TYPE BINARY     ; Fine for all DOS to DOS transfers(*)
  SET CONTROL UNPREFIX ALL ; Unprefix all control characters except...
  SET CON P 0 1 3 13 17 19 129 131 141 145 147
  SET RECEIVE PATH OFF     ; Restrict uploads to current directory
  SET FILE COLL OVERWRITE  ; Incoming files overwrite old files of same name
  SET CARRIER ON           ; Recover from hangups immediately
  SET FILE DISPLAY QUIET   ; No file transfer display
  SET BELL OFF             ; Be quiet
  SET EXIT WARNING OFF     ; Unattended, don't ask for permission to exit
;  LOG TRANSACTION          ; Log transfers to TRANSACT.LOG if desired(**)
  DEFINE BSEND SET FILE TYPE BINARY, SEND \%1 ; Use macros for command
  DEFINE TSEND SET FILE TYPE TEXT, SEND \%1   ; line brevity...
