I doubt that you can do what you want with Kermit 95. You are
trying to run an ssh server on Windows and execute Kermit 95 as a
subprocess of the ssh server and use it as if it were a remote kermit
file transfer engine. That is not what Kermit 95 is designed to do.
Kermit 95 assumes it has control over a GUI window or a Console window.
Under the ssh server it has neither. I'm not surprised it crashes.
I wouldn't waste my time with it either under this scenario.
If you are using the cygwin ssh server even more so because the cygwin
environment is a bit special. You really need to run programs compiled
with the cygwin runtime under the cygwin ssh server.
If I were you I would compile gkermit under cygwin and use that under
the ssh kermit.
Kermit 95 is a perfectly good ssh client but it should not be used
on the server side.
