If Hyperterminal works, so should Kermit 95, but only if you use its

You almost certainly can't use it as as COM port.

I believe there is a difference between how Kermit and Hyperterimal
deal with COM ports. Kermit lets you access them "directly" via
"set port com1" (com1, com3, ...). But Hyperterminal does not let you
use serial ports at all. It only lets you use *modems* -- i.e. devices
that are in the Control Panal -> Phone and Modem Options -> Modems
folder. Windows lets you add a Com port to this folder as "Communications
cable between two computers". If you are using Com3 this way from
Hyperterminal, then you should also be able to use it from K95, but only
as a TAPI device, not "set port com3":
[C:\tmp\] K-95> set port tapi ? TAPI device name, one of the following:
Communications_cable_between_two_computers
Courier_V.Everything_EXT_PnP_(V90-x2)
[C:\tmp\] K-95> set port tapi Communications_cable_between_two_computers
[C:\tmp\] K-95>
The real question is why you want to talk directly to the modem. Normally
Kermit does that for you with its DIAL command.
