Won't help.  If you go to the ftp-site and check manually you will find
that cku208.tar.gz is just a symlink to cku209.tar.gz which presumably
is a bit different.  I do not know why the cku208.tar.gz archives are
not around (there are archives for several older versions of kermit at
the ftp-site but not cku208.tar.gz) but it isn't.

I don't know what the difference is between 208 and 209, but
considering that 208 is no longer available while several older
releases are, I suspect it might some security problem.

The correct solution seems to be to upgrade the port to 209.
