Is there a utility that will let me check this on the Linux box?

As far as I can tell: certainly, the local client thinks it is receiving
in text mode, and the previous remote host sent in text mode. Is there
a command in Kermit to display the current settings for file transfers?

A rather ancient copy of VT-Pro, for obscure (and mostly political)
reasons. The actual sequence is Mac IIx via dedicated serial connection
to serial/modem hub to Linux box via TCP/IP.
