You probably have NT confused with some other operating system like UNIX,
that lets people log in from serial ports :-)

You have to make the two Kermits talk directly to each other. It's easy.
Tell each Kermit to:
set port 1 ; (or 2, as appropriate)
set speed 57600 ; (or other, but both the same)
set flow rts/cts ; (assuming you've wired your cable correctly)
connect
at this point, whatever you type on one keyboard should show up on the
other's screen. If not, you've probably got cable problems (see the Data
Communications appendix in your "Using C-Kermit" book).
Now Alt-x on each. Put one of them in server mode by typing "server"
at the K-95> prompt. Then type all further commands at the other one's
K-95> prompt: remote directory, remote cd, remote pwd, get, send, finish.
See the Client/Server chapter of the book.
This is pretty much the same as you would have done with MS-DOS Kermit back
in the good old simple days.
