Kermit 95 has a dedicated keyboard mode for Emacs giving you Alt as the Meta key as you'd expect (the command screen being moved from Alt+x to Alt+F4) among other settings. It can be activated with: set terminal keyboard-mode emacs

This mode isn't perfect though - when used with the Linux terminal type at least it leaves a handful of keys incorrectly mapped or not mapped at all making org-mode more difficult to use. If you run into these issues, the following may help correct them:

set term key emacs \4388 \Kansif49      ; Home key: end start of document -> start of line
set term key emacs \4387 \Kansif57      ; End key: end of document-> end of line
set term key emacs \4398 \Kansif61      ; Delete key: delete character to the left -> delete character to the right
set term key emacs \2317 \27\269        ; Alt+Enter -> Meta+Enter
set term key emacs \6437 \27\27[D       ; Alt-LeftArrow -> Meta-LeftArrow
set term key emacs \6439 \27\27[C       ; Alt-RightArrow -> Meta-RightArrow
set term key emacs \2829 \3\24\77       ; Alt+Shift+Enter -> C-c C-x M (synonym for M-S-RET in org-mode)
