It does a lot of things, and each thing takes code. If it does things
that you do not need you can build a smaller version. See:

If one end only needs to execute the protocol over its standard i/o,
you might be able to use G-Kermit instead of C-Kermit:
http://www.columbia.edu/kermit/gkermit.html
But one of the partners also needs all the code to make and manage
the connection (serial, network, whatever) and that code does not
necessarily come cheap.
Of course we would love to be able to supply custom versions of Kermit
that are ideally suited for every possible application on every existing
platform, but nobody is paying us to do that. Therefore we try to make
the best use of our time by supplying general-purpose, portable versions
that are highly configurable both at runtime and compile time.
