I went through much of the same agony with it.  I recommend to the net
not bothering.  C-Kermit is more than twice the size of VT100 V2.8 and
has fewer features.  The ONLY Amiga-useful part of C Kermit is
probably the protocol module itself (ckcpro.[cw]).  A link between
that file and VT100 would allow the latter to always contain the most
up-to-date version of the Kermit protocol, rather than needing to
re-implement it each time it changes. 

VT100 V2.8 works beautifully, by the way.  I hope Kim and Tony will
put an AREXX port into V2.9.  Then I will throw away my copy of Diga!.
