Because you can run MS-Kermit under a Win3.11 icon, and use NVT,
whereas TCP connections require more work.
If NVT is already there, it's a handy tool. It is highly problematic in
it's own right, though, so Kermit-TCP is a better environment, if both are
available.
As far as the Caldera DR-DOS, that's another wrench. My Novell DR-DOS
would not play SPX, which is what I think NVT wants to use, but I don't
recall for sure. NVT plus MS-Kermit did work on MSDOS, to connect to a
Unixware platform, even invoked from a Win3.11 icon.
