You mean kermit.columbia.edu.

In any case, version 192 is not the latest. Version 6.1 is in Beta test,
and does not have the problems you report (note that these problems came
up because of changes in Linux *after* C-Kermit 6.0.192 was released):

In a few days, I expect to be announcing C-Kermit 7.0 for public testing.
It builds fine in all the latest releases of Red Hat, Slackware, etc.

No, please always get Kermit from the Kermit site:

Nobody should be distributing "fixed" versions of Kermit except Columbia.
Anybody who has fixes should send them in to us and not post them elsewhere,
since then they take on a life of their own, and soon multiple incompatible
versions begin to float around, which always come back to haunt us, sometimes
as much as 10 years later.

Right. That's why we have new versions. In the past, we needed to include
kernel headers in order to get at high serial speeds, which nobody could
live without. Now high serial speeds are obtained in a natural way.
