As you probably know, Mac Kermit was never finished, and has not been
supported at all for a great many years, due to the lack of qualified
Macintosh programmers willing to work on the project.
That said, the method for capturing data is to get to command window,
and at the Mac Kermit> prompt, give the command "log session". This will
log incoming characters to the session.log file. When you want to stop
logging, go back to the command window and type "close session".
If it works, fine; otherwise you'll need to find some other software.
