Of course the person who really knows about these things is Professor
Joe Doupnik. If he's following this thread and not answering, it
means he doesn't have time for this any more. At the point where
work stopped on MS-DOS Kermit, nobody had time for it any more, in
the sense that many other things were more urgent. By the late
1990s, almost everybody was using Windows or Linux or whatever.
In any case, I believe you can find the real stuff here:

These would be the latest sources that Joe was willing to make public.
MS-DOS Kermit 3.16 is quite interesting in that it is the first
(and only) version of MS-DOS Kermit that implements many of the
structured programming features of the Kermit language: FOR and WHILE
loops, SWITCH statements, and so on. Explaining these things to
MS-DOS Kermit users without referring them to C-Kermit documentation
was another big task. And then there was the book. Etc etc...
