Has anyone been able to compile kermit on the clone?
ftp://kermit.columbia.edu/kermit/a/cpkerm.txt
This is what I got:

I can produce other binaries for other systems, but none seem to be able to establish serial traffic, using the osbourne "mode", I can only switch at 300 and 1200, but when I go 1200, the clone freezes, as obviously there's got to be a system specific version for altair.
When I try the "dec vt180" version (cpvrob.hex), this is the output:
