You have to use the Console version (K95.EXE, not K95G.EXE). Try this:
k95 -# 96
It works for me; it even transfers files. The only fly in the ointment is
that stuff like command-line editing (e.g. Ctrl-U), completion (Esc or Tab),
?-help, don't work as expected. Escaping back from CONNECT mode is a bit
tricky too; you have to type:
Ctrl-Q Ctrl-] c CR
That's Ctrl-Q followed by Ctrl-Rightbracket, then the letter C, then press
the Enter key. In fact, every control character is intercepted by EMACS,
so to pass it through to Kermit you have to quote it with Ctrl-Q, and you
probably also have to hit Enter afterwards.
And of course, when K95 is using stdio, there is no terminal emulation,
so you can't (for example) run EMACS in your CONNECT session to the host :-)
But on the plus side, your CONNECT session *is* an EMACS buffer, so you can
move around in it, edit it, etc, with regular EMACS commands.

It's a fiendish idea. Let us hear more!
