: We have an application written in K95, started by the command line:
: "C:\K95\K95.EXE MM0.KSC". It answers the phone, gets an ID and

No. As the above-referenced web page states, WIKSD is only for incoming
Internet connections.
I believe you can use the SRVANY utility to set up your script as a service.
But you have to be careful about about access, authentication, and
permissions.

There might also be issues regarding the program's input and output, and
what happens a connection hangs up. See the documentation of command-line
options for ways around such problems (esp. the -# option). There might
also be consequences for picking the GUI versus the Console version.
As an alternative, you might consider K95 Host Mode, which already does
pretty much what you describe. See the Host Mode documentation in the
Kermit 95 manual.
