Yes.

Why not? Kermit works basicly everywhere. I've been using in since CPM
times on virtually every platform I worked on (admitted, this does not
include Windows).

I have no idea if they allow configuration of inter-character and/or
inter-line delays; if they do, you can try to tweak these.

INstall an OS then. Install Linux. If needed under coLinux, or in a
virtual machine.

Actually you need the delay mostly after the newline character, when
U-Boot is programming the tranferred data to flash.

Sorry, I never use windows, and most people in my envrionment don't
use it either.
