I agree that kermit is a fine tool, but did you actually try  to  use
it for S-Record download?

The _only_ tool I found to be working reliably (i. e. on  all  boards
at all baudrates) was "cu".

You can automate _any_ tol which provides a CLI. Use expect. This  is
pretty  straightforward,  and  _much_ more powerful than the C-Kermit
scripting capabilities.


But thanks for the example code!
