What is Kermit?

A common terminal emulation program and file transfer protocol that can be used across dialup and telnet connections. It is much slower than xmodem, ymodem, and zmodem in most implementations, but it has the advantage of being able to transfer 8-bit files across a 7-bit telnet connection, which the others cannot do.
