First, here is the official party line:
MS-DOS Kermit is not recommended or supported for Windows 95 or NT for the
very good reason that it was not written for those platforms. It can not make
network connections, it does not understand long file names, and in many cases
it cannot find the serial ports or modems. It expects to have full control of
your PC: memory, video adapter, interrupt controller, serial port, network
adapter. This is not possible under Windows 95 and NT. If MS-DOS Kermit
works at all in those environments, it is an accident, and it is risky.
Kermit 95 is the recommended and supported software for Windows 95 and NT. It
is fully native, 32-bit, multithread, protected-mode, preemptive multitasking,
using only Windows 32 APIs, and is a 32-bit Winsock client for completely
straightforward network connections that coexist with your Web browser and all
other network applications. It has built-in support for nearly 60 different
modems; it emulates over 25 different terminals; it is not only a serial
communications program but also a Telnet and Rlogin client, and supports
XYZMODEM protocols as well as Kermit file transfer.

Second:
Try MS-DOS Kermit 3.14 (the current version). If it works for you, fine.
Otherwise, you're on your own:
