Both umodem and the C versions of kermit already have "connect" modes
for making outgoing connections.  Neither directly support automatic
dialing, but this is pretty modem specific and trivial to add for
any given case.  Or, if you prefer, you can always dial out with
"cu," suspend the connection, and then use umodem or kermit for the
file transfers as you choose.

Such procedures would probably be adequate for the sorts of "occasional"
file transfers you apparently consider likely within your "network."

P.S.  If you plan to use umodem, you'll have to look around for the version
with the connect feature.  There are a multitude of different versions
of umodem that people have spawned off from my original code.  So many,
in fact, that I no longer officially support umodem in any manner.
