You have a monochrome board in the machine yet Linux thinks it is
a color unit. Color code dim blue on black means underlining to mono
display adapters. Kermit examines the display adapter to determine its
capabilities, but Linux simulates that to Kermit and thus MSK can't come
close to the real hardware.
You are using a VTxxx emulation, not a PC emulation. VTxxx terminals
have 24 lines, not a PC display. Tell your machine the correct screen size
(say 80x24) and the display should be fine.
Thanks for the complement and we hope you enjoy Kermits.
