It might or might not, but we don't support or recommend it because (a) it
was not written for Windows 95 or NT; (b) we have our hands full supporting
it on the platforms for which it *was* written; (c) since it is not a native
NT application, it interferes with NT's otherwise smooth multitasking; and
(d) it does not understand long filenames or other features of NT that are
not also in DOS.
In other words, it just plain might not work, or might not work the way you
expect, and if it doesn't there is nothing we can do about it.
Kermit 95 is for Windows NT, Windows 95, and OS/2:
