There are lots of ways to do this.

Yes, and it can be just as simple on the network:
Kermit 95: set /server host * 3000
C-Kermit: set host <ip-name-or-address-of-pc> 3000
However, once you set up Kermit 95 to wait for an incoming connection
on port 3000, anybody on the entire planet can connect to it without a
password, probably not what you wanted. Thus we provide other methods
that are more complicated, but safer.
If you have Windows NT, 2000, or XP, you can install Kermit 95 as a
Service:

The primary advantage is that it requires incoming clients to authenticate
securely against your PC's user database.
A second choice (which works in Windows 95/98/ME as well as in NT/2000/XP)
is "host mode":

A third choice is to turn the process around: make the connection from
Windows to Linux. After all, Linux is designed for this; no matter how
you come in (serial, Telnet, SSH) you get a login prompt, you log in,
and then you can start Kermit on the far end and use it to exchange files
with your local copy of Kermit on Windows.
