IKSD is a service to provide remote access to the machine. When Kermit
is executing as IKSD it does not have functionality to establish
connections to other hosts; serial ports; etc. Nor does it have the
ability to execute local commands.
If you want to execute Kermit functions from within your application,
either make calls to K95.exe OR incorporate the embedded Kermit library.
