A couple of things come to mind. First, you do not specify which
version of Kermit 95 you are using. Be sure you are using a version
which was released after Windows XP was released. The current
release is 2.1.3.
Second, since you say that you never receive any messages of
any kind I would hazard a guess that what is really happening is
that one of the libraries Kermit 95 is linked to is unable to
properly initialize. This could be the case if you have installed
the Kerberos functionality but never configured a Kerberos
configuration. In this case the Kerberos libraries will attempt
to determine the current realm for the machine via DNS which
could take several minutes to time out depending on your DNS
configuration.
