I need more information relating to providing asynch protocol support
on top of telnet; the following explains the context:

Here is a simplified diagram of a portion of our network.
We are using Clarkson packet drivers to allow simultaneous
netware and tcp/ip access for PCs on the net.  Clarkson CUTE
telnet is use for terminal emulation on the PCs.  Ethernet II
only is spoken by NetWare.

A PC can telnet to the terminal server in order to get a
modem to dial out of the campus.  Upon reaching an external
information service, however, no protocol-based file transfer
is possible.

Ideally, I would like to be able to run Kermit from a PC
and have it use a telnet connection to get to the Terminal
Server.  (We can do this with C-Kermit on our Unix machines).
Has anyone attempted to do this, or are there other 
suggestions for PC modem access via the terminal servers?
