My first question would be, why are you running a 1996 version of Kermit
on a nearly-brand new release of SuSE? Please try one of the prebuilt
and prepackaged SuSE versions of C-Kermit 7.0, which you can find here:
http://www.columbia.edu/kermit/ckermit.html
If you still have trouble, send email to kermit-support@columbia.edu
with details.
