But I've always wondered - how do you get Kermit onto the target machine?
Kermit comes in source form. Text is easier to transfer. Kermit-11 also
exists as a binary encoded in a very simple format as text, and then you
have a very simple decoding program which recreates the binary from that.
All available if you check in the Kermit distribution.

SAV files would be binaries (RT11 format). BAS are source files.
There are a number of solutions. Text files you could load via
paper tape, with the text file attached to the SIMH tape reader.
That's not as good an answer for binaries though it could be made
to work.
Magtape or disk are better solutions. Disk works well if you have
a program that can write disk images in a format the target OS
knows. That's easy in this case; you can use my "flx" (RSTS File
Exchange) program to do this. There's an older version written in
C, a newer one written in Python 3. For the former, look in
svn://akdesign.dyndns.org/flx/branches/V2.6, for the latter, in
svn://akdesign.dyndns.org/flx/trunk. There's documentation for
both in those respective directories. (Commments and bug reports,
especially for the new version, would be appreciated.)
There’s always kermit…
