OK, good, the referenced pages should answer your question.
Assuming your copy C-Kermit on Linux was build with curses
support (you would have to go out of your way to make one
that wasn't), then the most likely explanation is that your
terminal type (TERM variable) is set to something that curses
does not recognize. Another might be the familiar confusion
among the many and varied curses libraries that ship with Linux
and consequent failure to initialize curses. Read the Linux
section of the ckermit.bwr file about this, and also see the
comments accompanying the Linux entry in the makefile.
To begin debugging, tell C-Kermit to "set transfer display
fullscreen" and then pay careful attention to the messages.
