I think this is an EMACS peculiarity having nothing to do with Kermit.
The same thing started happening to me the last the local copy of EMACS
was upgraded. I happen to have an old copy laying around:
GNU Emacs 19.22.24: ^Q Tab inserts a Tab
GNU Emacs 20.7.1: ^Q Tab does what you describe
Same copy of K95, same settings, same host, same .emacs.

Hmmm, I never noticed that before, but yes, same here.
: What's different about vt320 that Linux emacs doesn't seem to care for?
: Thanks!

Clearly it's nothing to do with Kermit. It's some strange EMACS-curses-
termcap/terminfo interaction on the host. If you figure it out, let us
know because it's been bugging me too.
