I found the same thing, so I recompiled it (on a 105MB system,
incidentally).  The 2.0 binary is less than half the size of the
1.0 binary, presumably because of shared libraries.
I put the 2.0 kermit on clvax1.cl.msu.edu (35.8.2.1) as
kermit_next.exe.   I was surprised to see that some server
functions do not work.  However, basic file transfer does work
in this recompiled version.
