I wouldn't go quite that far. It was useful at the time it was produced,
and then Linux changed out from underneath it. So now we have to change
Kermit to adapt to the newer Linuxes. The same is true, continuously,
for all other platforms -- AIX, Solaris, HP-UX, IRIX, you name it.

The URL above will lead you that, although perhaps not in the precise
form you want it to be in. If you don't want to visit the this URL and
read what it says, then use anonymous ftp to kermit.columbia.edu, in
binary mode, to pick up the file:
kermit/test/tar/cku192.tar.gz
then gunzip it, then "tar xvf cku192.tar", then "make linux".

FTP problems are not on our end. They are generally due to a congested
network, or a firewall at your site, or a failure of the host you are
connecting from the have a DNS entry.
