I did lead myself down the wrong path there. I realized it a little
later. What it is complaining about is the inability to do a
full-screen display for the file transfer indicator, due to not knowing
about TERM types vt102, or linux.
As I tried to follow the logic, it....
Wait a minute. Maybe it's just a bad line in the ckermit.ini supplied from
Redhat. Nope, I just checked.
It first says that full screen file transfer display is disabled, due to
the unknown terminal type, then it complains about not being able to set
the terminal type, which is a bogus line in one of the kermit.ini files
supplied from RedHat.
The line in the .ini file lead me to believe that it was supposed to be
able to set terminal type... I should know better after all these years,
with different flavors of Kermit ;-)
Seems like this is purely a Linux-ncurses problem. I did use kermit to
make a TCP connection to another box, and that works fine, with the native
screen controls (no emulation, as you note) working just fine.
