I just ran Kermit in VT100 emulation mode and dialed-up my 6000.  "info"
runs correctly.  The only anomaly I observe is that my kermit does not
do vt100 line-mode graphics, so my boxes are made from x's and q's instead
of vertical and horizontal lines.  Info tells me that it is version "1.1.0".
We are running on the "golden" code for AIX 3 (i.e. the Generally Available
O/S).
