It's behaving as documented, but you're right, it's not a nice way to
behave. But K95 does the same thing.
K95 is probably using a different command-line option:
k95 -J <host> [ <port> ]
(capital J), which means "be like Telnet" -- you can escape back and
forth as much as you like without exiting, but then it will exit
automatically when the connection is closed.
C-Kermit 6.0 has this feature too.
