The answer is: Yes, it will run on Windows NT Workstation 3.51 on Intel
platforms only.
Later there will be an NT-specific release whose major difference from
the Windows 95 version will be the ability to run on non-Intel platforms.
Just out of curiosity... How many client NT systems are out there?
We had been under the impression that only a few NT systems were running
at each site, in a kind of experimental or evaluation mode. Not that
it makes a difference, but we have been surprised by the amount of feedback
of this nature, and the more we know about the user base, the better we
can apportion our efforts.

From ours too :-)
Kermit 95 will have at least as much flexibility on the keyboard as
MS-DOS Kermit. We will absolutely positively differentiate each key
combo, rather than lumping certain combinations together.
