I've never had an operating system where Kermit came bundled with the
distribution, before or after licensing issues.
I've also not had an operating system where kermit was not available for
free download, until Windows managed to munge the direct hardware interface
to the point that I bought Kermit95, which is a commercial product.
All of the other platforms, including a RedHat RPM, packaged by someone at
RedHat, continue to be available for free download.
I currently run Kermit-95 (commercial) on Win95 and Win2K. I run freely
downloaded objects on Solaris, Linux, SCO, Unixware, Esix, and MSDOS.
