,----[ from http://www.columbia.edu/kermit/ck80.html#binaries ]
| After downloading, rename to "kermit" or "kermit.exe" (etc), as appropriate
| for your operating system and, if necessary, give execute permission,
| e.g. (in Unix):
|
| $ mv cku209.linux-i386-rh7.2 kermit
| $ chmod +x kermit
`----
(the entire section should be read, but i'm guess this is the most likely
issue.)
in addition when using the command line, if the binary isn't placed in a
directory which is in your PATH you must be explicit about the invocation,
e.g.,
./kermit
