You should be able to do it. Please read the ckmker.bwr
file that accompanies Mac Kermit 0.991(190). You will see
there are many shortcomings in the international character-set
support, but it still can be done.
You have to tell Kermit (in the Terminal settings) to allow
8-bit characters, and you have to select Latin-1 as the
character-set.
The big problem is with entering 8-bit characters. Since
Mac Kermit's font is not a regular system font, but rather
a built-in one, you can't use Keycaps in the normal way, which
is frustrating.
Nevertheless, you should be able to enter 8-bit characters in
the normal way, provided you have not done anything to the
Alt (Option?) key in the Modifiers dialog of the Key Settings
menu.
