Short answer:
http://www.columbia.edu/kermit/ck70.html
In more detail:
C-Kermit 6.0 is the current version of Kermit for UNIX (including Linux).
It is distributed in source-code form, and there is also a large selection
of prebuilt binaries for many platforms. There are also install packages
for Red Hat, Debian, and Slackware Linux distributions as well as for
other several other kinds of UNIX.
However, the C-Kermit 6.0 package files (RPM, Debian, etc) are no longer
appropriate for recent Linux releases. Linux has changed significantly out
from under C-Kermit 6.0 (which was released in 1996): curses libraries have
been shuffled around, there is the new libc vs glibc issue, serial port
access has changed, etc.
We have addressed these issues in C-Kermit 7.0, which is presently in Beta
test. So please pick up C-Kermit 7.0 Beta instead. It should build and
work correctly on all Linux versions, including the most recent ones, as
well as all other known UNIX platforms, plus Plan 9, VMS, and others.
You can find it at:
http://www.columbia.edu/kermit/ck70.html
There are, as yet, no package/install files (RPM, DEB, etc).
Quick start: Get the cku195.tar.gz file, gunzip it, tar xvf cku195.tar,
and then "make linux". The resulting "wermit" file is the C-Kermit 7.0
Beta executable.
Report any problems back to kermit-support@columbia.edu.
