Mandrake supplies the sz/rz stuff:

ftp://rpmfind.net/linux/MandrakeCooker/cooker/Mandrake/RPMS/lrzsz-0.12.20-5mdk.i586.rpm

But doesn't supply a kermit. RedHat 6.2 now supplies gkermit. Previously
the popular kermit was ckermit

ckermit:  http://www.columbia.edu/kermit/ck70.html
gkermit:  http://www.columbia.edu/kermit/gkermit.html

(If you use gkermit, you need to either rename or symbolic link gkermit to
kermit, or modify the minicom config to reference gkermit instead of
kermit)
