   Well the reason why you can't find any Kermit 128 is because there
is no 128 version of Kermit.  (At least not yet)  BUT Kermit-65 (65
meaning that was written for a 6502 based Computer) DOES support the
C-128 80 column screen.  That is, on your 128, you run kermit on the
64 mode, but you can use the 80 column screen.

   You don't really need Kermit to download the program.  You can use
something like Xmodem to do it too.  (That is, if your system supports
Xmodem)

This is indeed true, that is why there is no Kermit 128.  Read above.
