Short answer: No, not unless you write it yourself.
See various ongoing threads on this topic in this newsgroup.
Medium answer: You don't need a VBX or an OCX or anything else
like that. Use Kermit 95 itself, controlled by a Kermit script.
The script can be generated by your VB program.
Long answer: See Item 30 of the Kermit FAQ:
