Kermit for about every machine and system conceived by man is available via
anonymous ftp (login anonymous guest) from columbia university on machine 
CU20B.  It is all stored in TOPS-20 directory  or ker: for short.
Look in the "aa" files (such as aavers.hlp or something like that) for general
info.  The versions file lists the various machines supported; each of these
then relates to a group of files in the same directory with the same
prefix which are necessary to install the kermit of your choice.  For some
systems, only sources are available, while for others such as the C64, a hex
version of the binary plus a simple BASIC program to get the hex file down-
loaded are included.  Generally, each sub-kermit (as distinguished by the
prefix) has some documentation and help files included that you should read
first so that you will know what others you will need. 
To date, I've had only minimal trouble getting Kermit up via this method
for IBM-PC, VAX/VMS, VAX/UNIX, C-64, and (maybe) PDP-11.
Good luck,
