been a long time but it's probably something like
kermit> set port com1
kermit> set speed 9600
kermit> log <filename> ; something like that
kermit> c ; connect to the serial port
; directly
type ^]c (control-], followed by 'c') to disconnect from the
serial port.
type `help' in kermit to get command list, `help <command>'
(e.g. `help log' as I may be mistaken above) to get instructions
for individual commands.
a coupla points :
- you need a `null modem adapter' between the Zoomer and the PC
- closest thing I found to plain ASCII output was Canon BJ-80,
text only mode.
good luck, and drop me a note if you still have problems
