From article <54532@microsoft.UUCP>, by davidbro@microsoft.UUCP (Dave BROWN):

There are currently two versions of C-Kermit for OS/2.  One is a vio version,
the other is a PM version.   Both are based on C-Kermit.

The PM version is still an experimental version, not all the menu items are
implemented.  Some of the new features in it include TEK4010 emulation, with
the ability to save plots drawn to an HPGL file.  It also has  a more  logical
keyboard layout.

You can download the VIO version of kermit from my Fidonet BBS.  8 data bits, 
one stop bit, no parity, (306) 966-4857.  The files are:

CKOEXE.ZIP   -   VIO version of C kermit - executable
CKOSRC.ZIP   -   C source code for CKOKER.
CKOPMTST.ZIP -   C Kermit for OS/2 Presentation Manager Test version.

These can also be downloaded from the normal Kermit distribution channels 
(KERMSERV@CUVMA.BITNET), and from the OS/2 listserver at BLKUL1 (I think)

I'll try posting them to COMP.BINARIES.OS2.
