Andrew,
I did the port, although I've since gotten out of the Kermit
business. My ST is currently collecting dust. On to your questions:

It's definitely a VT52. I presume you're using VMS from the above,
so the correct command is:
$ SET TERM/DEVICE_TYPE=VT52
It should be noted that many DEC utilities simply assume a VT100/VT200
and behave accordingly.

Another poster mentioned Uniterm. This is a very nice package.
If doing simple stuff, I used kermit, but fell back to Uniterm for long
remote editing sessions, and so forth. If memory serves, TPU/EVE was one
of the programs that refused to act as a VT52. In this case, I was unable
to use kermit. For unix hosts I was always able to use kermit.
:
: Thanks in advance...
You're welcome. Hope the information above helps.
:
: Be seeing you...
