Well, I am only a lowly consultant here, so this is not anything official
from Columbia...

The latest version I believe is MacKermit 0.9(36)B3 which I use daily
and find very stable.  Not only does it let you do long packets up to
1024 bytes long, but the keyboard configuration is built into the program
rather than in CKMkey...it also keeps track of transactions, writes logs
and has statistics on the downloads/uploads.

When you anonymously log into cu20b, get KER:xkm936.* which is specifically
in the KERMIT-2 directory, but you don't need that info.  All you need are
the files:

	KER:xkm936.hqx
	KER:xkm936.bwr
	KER:xkm936.msg

These should give you all the stuff you need to get rolling..
And of course, the hqx file is a BinHex file...

Hope this helps...
