You can do it over your dialup line; Kermit has little to do with
it. What you do is run a SLIP/PPP emulator on your shell account,
and whatever TCP/IP stack you have on your boxes at work/home (or
if Berkeley sockets is compiled into your apps, or whatever).
There's a commercial emulator called TIA (The Internet Adapter), and
a freeware one called SLiRP. For more info, check out the newsgroup
alt.dcom.slip-emulators.
As Frank mentioned, you can then use Kermit as your autodialer.
After you log in and start SLiRP or TIA, you can then Start your
stack on your box, and then xmosaic (or any other Internet software
you want to run).
