Kermit is distributed under a license which explicitly prohibits redistribution. The only way to install Kermit is to download the sources directly from the authors' site and compile them. I suggest that you install Kermit from the ports collection: # cd /usr/ports/comms/kermit # make install clean You can then register minicom as a dependency: # cd /var/db/pkg # ls -d minicom* > kermit*/+REQUIRED_BY Assuming you installed minicom 1.82 and Kermit 6.0.192, there should now be a file named /var/db/pkg/kermit-6.0.192/+REQUIRED_BY which contains the line 'minicom-1.82'. By the way, minicom will work just fine without Kermit, so you don't need to do any of that unless you specifically need Kermit.
