   The last thing I tried seemed to call its version "9.0.305 Alpha.02".
Various changes/corrections to that kit:

      ftp://antinode.info/kermit/v9r0_305_Alpha02/

   With any luck, at least the source-file corruption in that kit might
be fixed (again?).

   There's still a serious bug in (at least) CKHTTP.C:

        fp[n] = fopen("NLA0:","r");     /* CK wants a fp, give it one */

   I don't know which sub-genius had that flash of inspiration.  (The
compiler likes it, at least.)  I assume that correcting it would require
some serious changes to the file-I/O scheme.

   Details?  Did you specify Multinet explicitly, instead of relying on
its TCPIP emulation?
