As explained in each one of the Kermit books, both.

Right. Also explained in the books, and in somewhat more detail in our
FAQ, question 10:
ftp://kermit.columbia.edu/faq.txt

Yes. See the FAQ and the KERMIT.UPD file for MS-DOS Kermit 3.14 and the
ckcker.upd file for C-Kermit 5A(190) (and the update notes for IBM
Mainframe Kermit 4.3.1). This is a new feature in these new versions, and
it works like this: when one of these Kermit is in server mode, then the
other Kermit, i.e. the client, controls the transfer mode.
