There are two versions of Kermit available for OS/2.  One is a full-screen
version, the second is an OS/2 1.2 or higher version for Presentation 
Manager.  The second includes Tek40xx graphics capabilities.

These are available from watson.cc.columbia.edu for anonymous FTP.  The 
full screen version is in the files "/kermit/b/cko*.*".  There appears to
also be a newer beta test version in "/kermit/test/cko*.*".  

I couldn't find the PM version, but it must be there someplace.  There are
actually TWO PM versions.  One is based on C-Kermit, the second is written
in Modula-2.  I like the C-Kermit version better.

You can also download the files from my Fidonet BBS, the University of
Saskatchewan BBS, Fidonet node 1:140/43, phone (306) 966-4857, 2400
baud.  I am upgrading to a USR dual standard 19200 baud modem within a
month.

The file names on my BBS are:
  
  CKOEXE.ZIP  Full screen version executables
  CKOSRC.ZIP  C language source for it 

  CKPM5X_E.ZIP PM experimental version executables
  CKPM5X_S.ZIP Source code to the PM version.
