For the record: MS-DOS Kermit is just plain not supported on Windows XP. It
was never intended for that platform. Kermit 95 is the supported Kermit
software for Windows 95 and later.
Whoever is selling software package for Windows 95 or later that includes
MS-DOS Kermit instead of Kermit 95, purchased or not, is selling a
misconfigured and mostly likely nonfunctional package.
But if the serial-port access works OK (which can happen only on certain
hardware configurations), fine.

Why don't you use Kermit as your ssh client. Then you can script it
to make the connection to the Windows ssh server, start MS-DOS Kermit
and interact with it, and then use Kermit protocol to transfer files
back to where you want them. It's a two-step process but it can all be
done in a single script.
