Assuming you want the Intel version. There are also versions for Sparc and
Alpha. But at this point, C-Kermit 6.0 is nearing the end of its life
cycle. Linux has changed significantly out from under it since 1996, and
therefore C-Kermit 6.0 often fails to start or run under recent Linux
releases or packages due to curses/ncurses and libc/glibc confusion, etc.
Instead, I'd recommend you visit the Kermit website:
http://www.columbia.edu/kermit/
and pick up C-Kermit 7.0 Beta, which should work nicely on all Linux versions
with all Linux packages (and if not, there's still time to fix it). It's
not in RPM form yet -- it's distributed in tar.gz form during the test
period. The website contains the download links and instructions for
unpacking and building.
