Exactly. MS-DOS Kermit is the Kermit software for DOS and Windows 3.x:
http://www.columbia.edu/kermit/mskermit.html
Have your application start MS-DOS Kermit with a command line like:
c:\kermit\kermit take filename
where "filename" is the name of a command file that you (or your
application) have written. This command file can do anything you want it
to do -- make the connection, log in automatically, transfer files, log
out, etc. The status of the script is returned as the exit code of
KERMIT.EXE. It's all described in the "Using MS-DOS Kermit" manual.
If you are going to be redistributing this software, be sure to license it
properly as described at the URL above.
