For FTP connections, it's only a client. For Internet Kermit Service:

it can be a server OR a client.

Yes. For Windows NT, the new secure Windows Internet Kermit Service:
http://www.columbia.edu/kermit/wiksd.html
As you can see, this is installed as a Windows NT service and accepts
incoming connections from the Internet, authenticating securely against
the Windows ID system. You can also allow anonymous access if you wish.
For AIX, use C-Kermit 8.0 as the client:

As you can see from the RFC, you actually gain quite a bit by using Kermit
rather than FTP:
