Here you have to make sure /dev/tty is readable/writeable.

:
The current release of C-Kermit is 5A(190). It includes a lot of
Linux-specific material that is not in 5A(188). I'd suggest you obtain
it and start over. You can use the standard, portable installation
method ("make linux" and then copy the various files to the desired
places) or you can also try the Debian Linux installation. You can find
the Debian Linux C-Kermit package in kermit/linux on kermit.columbia.edu.
If you still have problems with the current release, send email about it
to kermit-support@columbia.edu.
