As I recall it was vt52 emulation. However, we abandoned that rather
elderly version of Kermit and used Simon Poole's excellent GEM-based
freeware terminal emulator UniTerm when we had STs. It includes
various file transfer protocols (including Kermit) and does extremely
good vt200 emulation (on a par with MS-Kermit and even does proper
double-height and width characters). I can probably dig out a copy if
required, though I dare say you will find it still in the Atari section
of micros.hensa.ac.uk.
