Kermit has been taken off CDROM distributions due to the more restrictive
copyright policy. I believe you can find it in ports/comm/kermit
and it's fetched from the master site if not in distfiles anyway.

wermit is OK. Just rename it kermit. But I'd recommend to take the prted
version instead. There may be subtelties in tty handling which do not reflect
in the unpatched version.
