You'll have to try it and see. If you are dialing from Windows to SCO,
it should work, because Kermit on the remote end of a connection does all
of its work on stdin/stdout.
If you are dialing out from SCO, it might be a problem because in that case,
C-Kermit has to do all sorts of fancy system and driver calls on the dialout
device. These work as advertised with SCO drivers, but all bets are off
with third-party drivers, which tend to have (sometimes not so) subtle
differences.
