Yeah, it's pretty straight forward to get Kermit to compile. Just get
the latest version from Columbia and compile it as for Linux (big
surprise). You may need to twiddle the Makefile a little (no -m486,
for example) and may want to make sure it uses termios rather than
termio. I don't have anything sources handy right now, but I remember
I compiled it a while ago for Red Hat and there wasn't anything major.

If you just want a binary and have an FSSTND compatible setup, let me
know.
