You can build a custom version that omits many of the features you don't
need. The method is described in:
ftp://kermit.columbia.edu/kermit/test/text/ckccfg.txt
Obviously you need communications i/o, dialing, and the command language.
Here is a quick suggestion for building a smaller executable:
make xxxx "KFLAGS=-DNODEBUG -DNCSETS -DNOXFER -DNOCURSES -DNOHELP -DNONET"
where 'xxxx' is the appropriate target in the makefile. This cuts the
executable size by about 50%. Further reductions are possible.
