Why would you want to run y-Modem over a TCP/IP connection? Either use
TFTP or use Y-Modem via serial.
FWIW, this ability is very useful. We use it to upgrade RedBoot in the
eCos test farm on boards that are serial only but are connected to a
serial-ethernet gateway (so we can access them remotely). Using kermit
from our remote hosts to connect to the ethernet/serial gateway we can
initiate a y-modem download from our remote hosts over the tcp
connection to the gateway to the target. Hence we end up using both
ethernet and serial to download :-)

I don't understand your statement "From what I've found I need a
terminal emulator that works over TCP/IP that supports yMODEM based
transfers." Can you please explain?
