>>> ... but we don't know how to connect kermit to telnet ... <<<

If you have pseudo-tty's, i.e. running BSD 4.2 or a derivative, you can
connect to telnet.  The overall sequence is:

	1) point "getty" at the slave end of a pty to enable logins
	   through the pty line.
	2) point kermit at the master end of the pty and use the "connect"
	   subcommand to get a login: prompt.
	3) login and telnet to whatever machine you want to talk to.
	4) now you can start kermit on the other machine (usually as a server),
	   escape back to your local kermit and send or receive files at will.
	   

On our Convex C-1 I use

	#! /bin/sh
	on ttyp9  # enables getty on pty 9
	kermit -l /dev/ptyp9 -b 2400
	off ttyp9 # disables getty on pty 9 

(I also have a startup script for kermit to do the autlogin sequence but
that's a can of worms you're best off avoiding.)
