Kermit 95 host mode is a Kermit script. You have the source code, you are
certainly free to experiment with it to make it do anything you like. But
no, it is not the Telnet server you are looking for. To the best of our
knowledge THERE IS NO TELNET SERVER for Windows 95 that runs over the
Microsoft TCP/IP stack and lets you see the same thing you would see in a
DOS window of Windows 95. This statement is still true after twenty-five
months of people begging for such a product. That there is such a gaping
hole in the marketplace might tell you something about the suitability of
Windows 95 for open text-mode access from outside -- something which is
indeed trivial to implement on "traditional" "legacy" platforms such as
UNIX, VMS, etc.
