:
: Kermit does not provide SSHD capabilities.
:
If the question is really, "how should I provide secure remote shell access
to my computer over the Internet?", there are numerous answers, including
sshd as well as any of various Telnet and/or Rlogin servers secured by
Kerberos, SSL/TLS, or SRP:

Kermit, when installed as an Internet Kermit Service (IKS):
http://www.columbia.edu/kermit/iksd.html
also has various security options, but clients get only the Kermit prompt,
not a shell, but of course that's just the ticket for certain applications.
As Jeff noted, Kermit is not an SSH *server* but Kermit 95 on Windows is
an SSH client:
