We have nothing in our archives for these OS's. But of course we do have
source code for hundreds of Kermit programs in many languages, so if you
have a software development environment for the Nokia Communicator that
supports any of these languages (C, Lisp, Fortran, Algol, Basic, Forth,
Modula-2, Pascal, PL/I, various assemblers, ...) then you might be able to
adapt one. Since the lingua franca of computing today is C, you might
start by looking at G-Kermit, a small, modern, fast Kermit implementation
written in portable C:
