Yes, without a doubt, there's no queston that C-Kermit is the best
such program. While it lacks a pretty GUI (minicom also lacks this),
Kermit is highly scriptable, so it would be possible to set up its
startup behavior to default to all the settings your users need for
doing this function.

However, as I recall the original posting, he OP had said something
about VT100 emulation, or similar. C-Kermit does not do terminal emulation,
so you can't use it if you must emulate some other terminal. With C-kermit
you get the properties of whatever terminal you're actually using, which
in this case would probably be 'linux' or 'xterm'.
