Kermit Implementations

Kermit has been written for a wide variety of systems, both mainframes and microcomputers. Kermit is not written in a portable language; rather, each implementation is written in a language suited for the particular machine. The specification, given in the Kermit Protocol Manual, is quite general and allows implementation on almost any machine.

Here's a brief table summarizing a few of the Kermit implementations. This list is constantly growing.
