[comp.sys.sgi] Kermit: how do I assign term emulation?

HCART@VAX.OXFORD.AC.UK (12/28/89)

    I have a 3130, on which I quite frequently run kermit to
link into a VAX cluster. Although kermit runs OK, the VAX is
unable to determine the kind of terminal the 3130 is pretending
to be, so assigns it 'unknown' status. This then means that
screen editors and graphics on the vax do not work.

    Is there any way of telling kermit on the 3130 that it is
to behave like a VT102, or some other terminal the VAX will
recognise? Kermit will do this happily on my XT and it would be
nice to use the iris to run uniras and other graphics on the VAX.
Maybe all is explained in the kermit online documentation, but
for some reason we cannot get at this on our machine.

    Any advice appreciated. Thanks.
