You're getting the linemode Telnet server rather than the fullscreen TN3270
server. You can use C-Kermit this way to make a linemode connection to the
mainframe. To send the BREAK key, use Ctrl-\ followed by the letter 'b'.
You can transfer files on this connection using IBM Mainframe Kermit on the
far end.
C-Kermit does not include a tn3270 client. However, there's probably a
tn3270 program on the same computer where you are running C-Kermit. If you
don't need to transfer files over the connection, you can use tn3270 instead
of C-Kermit. If you DO need to transfer files, you'll need C-Kermit 7.0:

and then you can use it to make the connection *through* tn3270 as explained
here:
