Just to be pedantic, ckermit isn't a terminal emulator. It's a serial
comm package that will connect a serial port to whatever terminal/tty
you used to run the ckermit command. It's also a file transfer
protocol, but that's pretty much irrelevant for this thread.
I use ckermit every day, but have never tried to wrap it with either
of the aforementioned readline utilities (the things I connect to have
their own command line history/editing facilities).
