The command you want is: "set term remote cp437" or, in the version of C-Kermit
that doesn't run in the windows console, the rightmost drop-down on the toolbar
is where you can pick the charset to use.
For connecting to a BBS you'd probably want to switch the terminal emulator
from linux (the default) to ansi-bbs anyway. When you do that, C-Kermit for Windows
will automatically switch the remote character set to cp437. You can either use the
left-most drop-down on the toolbar or do a "set term type ansi-bbs".
(I'm the maintainer of the Windows version of C-Kermit and when I need to test
it on vintage windows I tend to point it at a synchronet BBS though the fonts
on vintage windows don't do nearly as good a job as on modern windows -
