I like using the laptop as a console because I can log my terminal session

In general, kermit under Linux (and other unix-like operating systems)
expect you to start kermit from the terminal emulator of your choice,
and "inherits" whatever terminal emulation you have started it from.
FWIW, I've successfully done vt100 with kermit started from xterm.
One of the things that I tried was
running kermit inside the xterm window, I was able to connect to the Vax but
was unable to test the graphics portion.
Are you sure that your xterm has Tektronix graphics emlation compiled
in / enabled?
I haven't tested graphics emulation yet, because I don't have a
vintage machine that supports it.
