Well, up here I had to log on to our VAX system using my Geneve.  I used 
Telco and used VT52 emulation (set term/vt52 should be typed when on the 
VAX).  For transfers, we have XMODEM so why bother with Kermit.  As for a 
serial port.  As long as she has a PE Box with an RS232 card or the 
standalone RS232, she has a serial port.  If she doesn't have a modem, tell 
her to keep in mind when hooking one up that the cable has to be set in a 
certain way.  I have my cable using 3 wires: 2,3 and 7.  Solder 2 to 3 and 3 
to 2 and 7 to 7.  Then you are ready to hook up the cable to the modem and 
serial port and go ahead with telecommunications...
Hope I helped...
