It's not quite clear exactly what you want where, and what you
hope to get from it, but I'll try to decode.
I presume you want to make the DOS prompt visible across the
net to the Linux machine, by something along the lines of CTTY <network>.
If so then it won't work. And if so what you are trying to do is run
DOS remotely via Kermit, as a Telnet daemon. That won't work either.
CTTY is less than inadequate.
Put simply, DOS is not designed to be run from a terminal. There
are some remote screen capture/keyboard stuffing programs around, such
as Carbon Copy, PC Anywhere, etc which do that job reasonably well. Running
in their cases means running on the DOS PC and the comms programs dig deeply
into the machine to capture/stuff changes to the machine. MS-DOS Kermit is
not such a program and we don't want to enter that nitch.
If I'm off base please give us some additional hints.
