I guess that is better than a door stop :-)

Have you tried BinkyTerm?  It is faster than LCTERM and works fairly
well.  Since I don't boot CP/M, I can't tell you how it is compared
to, say, Kermit-86.

There is a DOC emulator called TC-II that will send the 'right'
sequences for VMS.  Isn't there some way to tell Kermit to remap these
keys?  There is in other versions.

Don't know.  However, a vague, fuzzy memory from several (6?) years
agos recalls seeing this on a BBS.
