Well, essentially, the "finish" command is supposed to stop the remote Kermit
server and return you to its command prompt.  The "bye" command is supposed
to stop the remote Kermit server AND log you out.  Sounds like your version is
running correctly.  The most common variant to this standard are Kermits for
VAXen running VMS.  There, either BYE or FINISH merely stops the kermit
server.  You have to manually QUIT the remote Kermit and manually logout.
