This kermit feature is useful for auto-login sequences and the like, but it
does not work for downloading significant amounts of data using simple
capture.  The maximum timeout interval you can specify is a two digit
number of seconds.  I've considered modifying the kermit sources to allow a
maximum timeout of 999 seconds, but I haven't tried it yet.

I regularly download data from a computer system that does not offer kermit
protocol.  Currently, I am using kermit and the "log session to file"
feature, but I must do it manually.  I'd like to automate this process with
some sort of scripting.
