Kermit gives you a transparent connection - it doesn't do any emulation
- so it doesn't care what type of terminal you're using.

The type of terminal you should specifiy to any remote system is the
type of terminal your console emulates. That's not determined by Kermit
- that's built into the console driver. Which leads to the question you
really wanted to ask: what type of terminal does the Coherent console
driver emulate? Since I don't have Coherent, I don't know. But, since I
am thinking about it, I'm just as interested as you in finding out.

Anybody?
