What exactly did you try to establish a connection, and how did this
fail?
I have just verified that I can start ckermit on my Ubuntu box, connect
this using telnet to the emulated Vax (simh is running on this ubuntu
box), start kermit on the simh Vax, set this kermit to server mode,
then switch back to the ubuntu ckermit and transfer a file using the
"get" command. The opposite direction, move something with the "send"
command to the emulated vax fails: it starts the transfer but
eventually hangs, without further error message, and no file fragment
shows up in the target directory.

But at least transferring some file(s) from the emulated vax to the
host running simh should be possible.

The only non-default setup bit I used to establish the connection was

	C-Kermit>set telnet Wait-for-negotiations off

but then

	C-Kermit>telnet 0 15000

did the trick. (I have simh configured in the way that it listens on
TCP port 15000)
