From the KERMIT.UPD for version 3.14:
SET TERMINAL COLOR 20
If Kermit receives a "reset visual attributes" escape sequence (CSI 0 m)
from the host, this does not affect the screen coloration. However, some
applications expect it to restore the default fore- and background colors.
SET TERMINAL COLOR 20 tells Kermit to do this. v3.14.
By the way, if you have any official DEC documentation that says this should
be the default behavior, we'd like to see it. Our DEC VT manuals list the
actions to be taken on CSI 0 m very explicitly, and none of them affect the
coloration.
