There is an RPM for C-Kermit 6.0 at the Kermit website:
http://www.columbia.edu/kermit/
However, this dates from 1996 and Linux has changed out from underneath it
so much that it tends not to work on modern Linuxes.
Instead, pick up C-Kermit 7.0, which is still in Beta test, but which does
work on current Linuxes, but which is not yet in RPM format:
