That told me the ssh command was "ssh -e > none". "ssh -V" returns "OpenSSH_3.6.1p2, SSH protocols 1.5/2.0, > OpenSSL 0x0090701f". "kermit -V" tells me I've got "C-Kermit 8.0.209, > 17 Mar 2003, for Red Hat Linux 8.0". I've also tried different > hostnames; even "ssh 127.0.0.1" gives me the same response.

Used kermit years ago before X and Internet for dialup connections and file transfer on BBS systems, but have not found the need to use it for ages. What are you trying to do that requires kermit? Can you use KDE konsole or Gnome terminal?
