Not exactly.
Some people use Kermit as their PPP dialer, but it does not execute PPP
protocol itself. Hints for doing this can be found in:
http://www.columbia.edu/kermit/faq.html#faq-c-exit
The Web browser interface is very simple: if you give C-Kermit a BROWSE
command, e.g.:
browse http://www.kermit-project.org/
it will invoke your browser (usually Lynx) with the given URL. You can
configure this with the SET BROWSER command.
In versions of C-Kermit that include terminal emulators (such Kermit 95),
you can also Ctrl-click on a URL in the terminal window ask your browser
to visit the URL.
Conversely, you can configure your browser to use C-Kermit as its Telnet
client.
