CKermit is not involved at all. The OUTPUT and INPUT commands
are dealing with raw bytes on the comms channel, to a remote system's
normal user prompt in this case (Unix). No Kermit is running on that
end.

No, because MSK in Server mode listens to only Kermit packets
of a suitable nature. It is not the o/s user prompt. Use GET to obtain
a file from a Kermit server.

Nothing happens unless commands in that Take file make them
