Telnet: yes, of course. That's one of the major applications for C-Kermit.
See the manual for instructions:

C-Kermit does not include SSH because the RSA algorithms are patented and
must be licensed and paid for. However, C-Kermit 6.1:
http://www.columbia.edu/kermit/ck61.html
presently in Beta test, WOULD allow you to use the Linux "ssh" program as a
transport, so you could have Kermit scripting, file transfer, and
interactive sessions, over an SSH connection, except that the ssh program
does not allow its standard input and output to be redirected.
We might add SSH to C-Kermit in the future, but if we do, you'll have to
pay for it. Or we can just wait two years until the RSA patent expires.
