You cannot start up a PPP session using kermit. You need
to run a PPP Daemon to start PPP, such as pppd on Unix or
Win95's dial up networking.
Once you have PPP running, then you can use Kermit as a
telnet client. The command "set network tcp/ip" simply
tells Kermit to behave as a telnet client, rather than
trying to access a serial communications port directly.
It doesn't actually manage the network link, as pppd does.
I hope this helps.
