We find the exact quasiparticle spectrum, elastic [ital S] matrix, and free energy for the continuum Kondo problem of [ital k] species of electrons coupled to an impurity of spin [ital S]. Here, the impurity becomes an immobile quasiparticle sitting on the boundary. The particles are kinks,' which can be thought of as field configurations interpolating between adjacent wells of a potential with [ital k]+1 degenerate minima. For the overscreened case [ital k][gt]2[ital S], the impurity in the continuum is a kink as well, which explains the noninteger number of boundary states.
