MS-dOS Kermit emulates a VT-320 terminal. Therefore, it uses the escape
sequences defined for the Vt-320 when in Vt-320 mode. C-Kermit for OS/2
will also emulate a Vt-320 and will use the exact same escape sequences.

You are looking for a file called VMODEM.DOC. This contains the info
you need to setup a Virtual Comm Port which maps to a telnet connection.

Its not Kermit's job to describe how to use a shareware utility on OS/2.
Kermit docs describe how to use a fossil interface. By loading X00.SYS
in your OS/2 config.sys file SIO provides a fossil interface to each defined
COM port. Use SET PORT FOSSIL <port number: 1,2,3...> in Kermit.
Here are my lines from my config.ys file:
DEVICE=G:\SIO\SIO.SYS (COM1) (COM2) (COM3,INTERNET:2E8,NONE:3)
DEVICE=G:\SIO\VSIO.SYS
DEVICE=G:\SIO\VX00.SYS
You also need to make sure that VMODEM.EXE is running.
