Clarification: Of course you can't dial and log in to Windows and get a
text-based shell like you can do with VMS, Unix, and other conventional
operating systems. But you can still set up Kermit on Windows to accept
incoming calls and provide a file-transfer and management service. There
are various ways to do this, of which the most user-friendly is described
here:

You can also write a simple Kermit script that awaits and handles incoming
calls, something like:
set port tapi
set speed 57600
set flow rts/cts
while true {
cd some-directory
answer 0
if success server
close connection
}
Obviously many variations and refinements are possible.
