Macintoshes running Mac OS X have their own native Kermit program: C-Kermit 8.0 (or later). Don't bother with thispage if you have Mac OS X.

Macintosh Kermit 0.993(192), based on C-Kermit 6.0.192, circa 1996,is the last release of 'Macintosh Kermit', but it is not a real release.It has numerous rough edges, and might not work at all on modern Macintoshes(it should work on Macintosh System 7.1 or earlier). If it runs at all onyour Mac, it is usable for most serial communications tasks. It includes aVT320 emulator, a normal Macintosh graphical user interface as well as themore powerful C-Kermit command interface, and C-Kermit's Kermit protocolengine. Various features and commands still need to be filled in, the menusneed reworking and filling out, and many bugs need fixing.
There has been no work on Macintosh Kermit since 1996 due to a lack ofqualified and willing Macintosh programmers.

NEW (April 2011): Using Mac Kermit by Christine M. Gianone,unpublished draft manuscript (1991). This was to be the published manualfor Mac Kermit 1.0, if it had ever been released, but it wasn'tcompleted. CLICK HERE to download itPDF format. Note that this manuscript has a lot of frog images in it,which would have to be removed before publication. And a lot of crudeline drawings done with the mouse that would have been replaced byprofessional illustrations. (In those days, we had illustrators.)
