You need something "under" Kermit first. There are many alternatives,
none of them free (well, few of them). You need to purchase a TCP/IP
package for VMS (Windows 95 already has TCP/IP), or else you need to
purchase a LAT or DECnet product for Windows 95 (VMS already has LAT and
DECnet). TCP/IP usually makes the most sense, because you can use it to
access "billions and billions" of computers and services. (There is also
a free TCP/IP for VMS -- the CMU/Tektronix version -- but by all accounts
installation and upkeep are a big job compared to the commercial
products.)
Having done this, you'll need a good VT320 emulator for Windows 95.
Kermit 95 can do this over LAT (Meridian Technologies SuperLAT) or TCP/IP
(Telnet or Rlogin), and of course also on serial connections, direct or
dialed. More info at:

And of course C-Kermit for VMS:
