It's called ek, and here is the readme for v1.2:

----------------------------------------
EK 1.2 Files (28 Jan 2003)

+ cdefs.h     C language definitions (STATIC, UCHAR, ULONG)
+ debug.h     Definitions for debug()
+ kermit.c    The Kermit protocol module
+ kermit.h    Header for Kermit protocol module
  main.c      Sample calling program
  makefile    Build procedure for Unix
  platform.h  Platform-dependent definitions
  unix.h      Unix-dependent definitions
  unixio.c    i/o module for Unix

The first four files (marked with +) should require no changes.
The rest are samples.  The unix.h file contains platform-specific
definitions for Unix; this should be replaced with a similar file
for the target platform, and then copied or linked to platform.h,
which is the name of file included by the other modules.

Also replace unixio.c with a module that implements equivalent i/o
routines for the target platform, and then link with that routine.
