I just downloaded the kermit program from tukki and I experienced no problems.
As matter of fact this message is being typed using the kermit that I just
downloaded.
I know this will sound obious, but check the baud rate and all the other
configuration settings that is give when you type "show all" in kermit.
Perhaps you accident changed on of those values.     
Or perhaps it was just a case of a noisy line at that particular time.
