The second and third terminal is nonsense. You need to "TELNET" with
CKERMIT (used as terminal emulation) to SIMH (which is TCP port 15000
on your local UBUNTU machine), then in SIMH boot your VAX/VMS, login
via operator terminal ("OPA0:"), then start KERMIT on VMS, set in server
mode, switch your Ubuntu CKERMIT terminal back to local mode (via the
correct escape sequence - probably "Escape C") and then issue file
transfer commands there ("GET", "REM DIR", ...)

Once your finished transferring files, you tell "FINISH" (not "BYE",
as this closes the local CKERMIT as well) and then "CONNECT" again,
and you're in VMS on Kermit Prompt again. Continue as appropriate...
