Only if it provides an Int 14 or BAPI style redirector.

Maybe if you boot DOS from a floppy in a DOS window of OS/2. Otherwise
probably not. And it would only work through a redirector.

Like (2).

So I take it you need Tek emulation, or else Chinese DOS.
There have been mixed reports, by the way, about OS/2 C-Kermit and DBCS.
If that's your requirement, you might be able to get by with "set term
bytesize 8" and "set term char transparent", assuming you have a Chinese
code page loaded.
Tek emulation will come to C-Kermit eventually.

Maybe. Give it a try.

Dunno.
The only report I have had of making TELNET connections from OS/2 using
MS-DOS Kermit involve using the DOS window as if it really were DOS -- running
the packet driver, and then Kermit over it. This almost certainly means
that you would have to shut down IBM TCP/IP and all other OS/2 networking.
But I can't swear to it.
