OK. I'm making progress. I downloaded K11RSX.HEX from 
ftp://kermit.columbia.edu/kermit/b/ along with K11HEX.BAS and using my 
nifty paper tape reader (after running unix2dos on the files) I got them 
on RSTS. I then ran K11HEX.BAS and converted K11RSX.HEX to K11RSX.TSK and:

$ run K11RSX.TSK

Check SHOW RELEASE_NOTES for possible incompatabilities

Will you look at that?

On my Mac, I brew install'd c-kermit and now I am able to run Kermit on 
both ends of the connect. Kermit will even do telnet, so I have telnet'd 
to one of the DZ connections successfully.

If you want to share how you actually do a file transfer using the 
amazing kermit, I would appreciate it. Meanwhile, I'm busy reading docs 
and googling to figure it out.

Thanks,

Will
