For kicks, I got the *basic* C-Kermit to build under Linux and under Cygwin.
https://github.com/gstrauss/ckermit
The make command line options are in the commit messages.

It is based on
http://www.columbia.edu/kermit/archive.html
C-Kermit 9.0.302  2011/07/11  cku302.tar.gz

I realized afterwards that I should have used C-Kermit 9.0.305 Alpha.02.

In any case, compiling is a first step, but does not suggest it is fully
functional.  Mostly #include and minor changes were needed, except for
one big mess with the cygwin custom struct hostent being defined with
  const char *h_name

Cheers, Glenn
