Using C-Kermit 9.0.302 OPEN SOURCE:, 20 Aug 2011, for Linux

Configure your serial port as needed. I used

kermit
set line /dev/ttyUSB0
set baud 9600
set flow none
set term bytesize 7

Example for transferring file from PDP-8 to PC. Only works for text files. For binary files need to be encoded with K12ENC or K12ENB. This assumes kermit is running with serial port configured.

connect
R K12MIT
SEND BASIC.BA
(transfer auto started on PC side)

To transfer file from PC to PDP-8

connect
R K12MIT
RECEIVE
ctrl-\ c (return back to kermit on PC)
send b.ba
