It works OK here:
$ kermit
(C-Kermit 6.0 banner and greeting)
C-Kermit> set proto xmodem
C-Kermit> receive x.x
rx: ready to receive x.x
So C-Kermit does indeed start the rx program. The file transfer works too
(at least when the connection permits it).
What happens when you give these same commands?
