The Kermit folks don't want distributable copies sitting somewhere
else, but RedHat could certainly point to the binary that RedHat
provides to columbia, in any one of their lists.

They could put it in several places, where an RPM ought
to be, and instead of an RPM, just have a link to
http://www.columbia.edu/kermit/ck60.html#getit
or, directly to the appropriate RPM package, one step further.
This varies by machine type, though.

This page also references binaries for Debian, Slackware, and others.
And of course, the source is always available, and, as much as they can
keep up with changes in Linux, it compiles cleanly.
