If your modem has an RS232 type connector (which chances are that 
is the one that you have) you need to get an RS232 interface
for the C64. You can buy those in any C64 retail store or through
mail order. It cost around $25 to $30 dollars. TENEX and COMPUTER DIRECT
are some of the mail order companies that sells such interface, so
give them a call.
 
As for the Kermit, yes it can be used with Hayes modem. For ways in
obtaining a copy of this terminal program, read recent postm
of this newsgroup. There were a number of post describing how to
get the program. If you have FTP capability you can get it directly
from one of the authors, or you could mail order it from them.
 
One question.....If you get the program electronically to the directory
of your account, how will you manage to put the program on a C64 formatted
diskette?  (...just curious...)  :)
 
 
Well, I hope I was of some help.
