It is possible, and we have done this with Kermit 95. It is a very long
script because it has to implement (a) a user ID system, (b) a secure file
system, and (c) a user interface. This is what is commonly called "host
mode". In theory this would be possible with MS-DOS Kermit too, but in
practice the space limitations (overall, and on various specific items)
and the lack of multiprocessing capability probably preclude it, except
perhaps on a very small scale.
