     Yes, there are versions of KERMIT that are designed to run on an RSX
based system.  In fact, two versions are available.  There is the RSX KERMIT
which runs much like the RT KERMIT or UNIX KERMIT, and there is a special
verison of KERMIT available for the PRO350.  The original RSX KERMIT was 
written for an RSTS system but I believe it has since been adapted to run
on both the RT and RSX systems.  This version of the KERMIT works on most
PDP systems with the exception that it requires multiterminal support
in RT11.  A severe restriction for the RSX version, however, is that 
depending on the speed of your processor, it may only work up to 1200 baud.(?)
The PRO KERMIT, on the other hand, is completely manual driven, much like
most of the PRO software.  I have used both versions of the KERMIT, and
I believe the PRO KERMIT is much more superior.
     Anyway, the source code and the HEX files for KERMIT can be obtained
from the Columbia University at moderate cost.  Or, if any one you know has
a distribution copy you can simply ask him for it.  The MRL computer room
here at UIUC has a copy of the distribution file.
     I hope this will answer your question. ..
