Ah so. I was mistaken about the use of the program vs protocol. Confusing! :)

If you're talking about xmodem/ymodem, you're likely talking about installing
firmware. I'm talking about using kermit (the program, not the file transfer
protocol) to interact with embedded machines for interactive configuration and/or
debugging. This is extremely common.
