The problem is that Linux is not Windows. In Windows, an application
(such as K95) can "see" the keyboard. In Linux it can only read
characters from stdin. C-Kermit has no idea if you press F7 or Alt-F7
or Ctrl-Alt-Shift-F7 -- it only gets the bytes that the console driver
gives to it and passes them along to the host you are connected to.
