As I interpret your message the DANSI TSR uses hot key combo
<control><shift><space bar> and that would be the TSR trapping keyboard
information beneath the BIOS. Kermit does not bypass the keyboard BIOS,
and it never "feeds" information down there to percolate upward. So the
answer to the question is no, Kermit can't do what you want.
