I suspect that your real goal is for free email access..
Juno.com, hotmail.com are two examples. Having downloaded Juno, you can
get textmode email for free, with the only drag of seeing adverts all
the time.
Frankly, I don't know about anything for Kermit. I'd contact the
colleges and universities around you to see if they have free accounts
for the public. i suspect if you know any sysadmins they may give you
an account as long as you promise to behave!!! ;-)
