C-Kermit is not a terminal emulator. When you gave it a "set terminal type"
command, it should have said something like:
$ kermit
[/home/me] C-Kermit>set terminal type
Sorry, this version of C-Kermit does not support the SET TERMINAL TYPE
command. Type "help set terminal" for further information.
[/home/me] C-Kermit>
Terminal emulation is supplied by the console or xterm window in which you
are running C-Kermit.
(n)curses uses the terminfo entry for your Linux terminal type (TERM value)
to control the formatting of C-Kermit's fullscreen file-transfer display.
