I'm not sure what you are looking for. Kermit is not a Remote Control
program such as PC Anywhere. In PC Anywhere the local desktop is
redirected over the communications channel so that you have interactive
access.
Kermit also is not a Telnet Server that provides a remote interactive
command shell. However, Kermit may be used to connect to a Telnet
Server that provides interactive command shells. OS/2 comes with its
own Telnetd implementation as does Unix. Windows on the other hand
requires that one be obtained from a third party. Windows 2000 comes
with a built in Telnetd.
What is it that you are attempting to accomplish?
If you are looking to remotely control GUI applications you will have
to purchase and install a product such as PC Anywhere.
If you are looking for the ability to execute interactive commands
in a text environment you can use Kermit to connect to a telnetd.
If you are looking to execute non-interactive commands then you could
use the Kermit Server's REMOTE HOST command.
Before we can help you further you will have to describe what it is you
are attempting to do and from and to which operating systems you want
to do it.
