I've never used kermit, so I'm not understanding how that would work in the 
particular situation we're talking about:
- Linux guest on z/VM
- No working Linux network connection
- So, only connection is via the z/VM TCP/IP stack
- You want to pull a file from the Linux guest, edit it, and push it back

What pieces would have to be where, and how would connections get made, etc.?
