You need the Solaris version of C-Kermit 6.0 on your system at work:

: It seems Kermit 1.1.11 is more than just a TTY connection.

Kermit 95 can be a serial communications program or a Telnet client. If
you only a have a direct modem connection to you host, then no, you can't
use Netscape or other TCP applications on this connection. If have made a
SLIP or PPP connection to your host using Windows 95 or NT dialup
networking (DUN or RAS), then you can use TCP applications like Netscape
on it AND you can use Kermit 95 as your Telnet client, and for that matter
as your Telnet application within Netscape.
Kermit 95 itself does not make SLIP or PPP connections, however; it only
uses one that you have already made with DUN or RAS. This is true of any
Windows 95 or NT TCP application.
