This cannot work. The "loadb" command expects that you  transfer  the
data  using  kermit  binary  protocol, not just dumping some raw data
over the line.

Kermit *binary* protocol means that you should send in *binary* mode,
so have to use the "/bin" option.

All this is written in good detail in the manual, so please RTFM!!!
