Yes.

On Windows NT you need Kermit 95:
http://www.columbia.edu/kermit/k95.html
It is available for Intel, Alpha, and PowerPC NT platforms. For MVS you
need IBM Mainframe Kermit:

:
If CA-Unicenter has batch and scheduling capabilities, yes. Kermit 95
is fully scriptable. Just about anything you can do by hand can be scripted
for unattended operation.
A word of caution, however: Kermit 95 is not (yet) a tn3270 client, so you
can only log in to MVS in linemode, assuming your TCP/IP connection is
direct to MVS. If, however, your TCP/IP connection is to a 3270 gateway
(such as, for example, a Cisco terminal server), then you can have 3270
sessions that way. You can also use Kermit 95 to make serial connections to
any kind of 3270 protocol converter, such as the IBM 7171, and conduct your
sessions that way.
