Which version of AIX?

First you have to tell us what you are using for a terminal or
terminal emulator. Then you would need to describe the garbage in
greater detail. Is it a jumble of line- and box-drawing characters?
Or is it a lot of accented letters?

First, carefully check your terminal type in AIX. Be sure it is
not AIXTERM! If it is, change it to vt-whatever (depending on your
terminal or emulator).
Next, be sure to tell C-Kermit to:
set terminal bytesize 8
set command bytesize 8
as described in the manual, for accessing an 8-bit application like Lynx
(or rn, or trn, etc).
Finally, depending on exactly what kind of text you are accessing with
Lynx, and what your terminal or emulator is, be sure to set either C-Kermit
or your terminal (emulator) for the proper character-set translations.
If this is not enough to get things working for you, send me e-mail with
the details and maybe a session log.
