   The command you want is: "set term remote cp437" or, in the version of C-Kermit   
   that doesn't run in the windows console, the rightmost drop-down on the toolbar   
   is where you can pick the charset to use.   
      
   For connecting to a BBS you'd probably want to switch the terminal emulator   
   from linux (the default) to ansi-bbs anyway. When you do that, C-Kermit for   
   Windows   
   will automatically switch the remote character set to cp437. You can either   
   use the   
   left-most drop-down on the toolbar or do a "set term type ansi-bbs".   
      
   (I'm the maintainer of the Windows version of C-Kermit and when I need to test   
   it on vintage windows I tend to point it at a synchronet BBS though the fonts   
   on vintage windows don't do nearly as good a job as on modern windows -
