Kermit is great, I use it all the time.

But it is not a terminal emulator. Well, C-kermit isn't. K95 is and MS-Kermit
is, but C-kermit is not. You get ONLY whatever the capabilities are of 
the terminal you're actually using when you run C-kermit, no more, no less.
It is usually possible to make do that way, but sometimes you have a remote
app/system that demands some known terminal type other than the one you 
have.
