I never heard of an 8860 but maybe it's like BA80 or 97801, both of which
are emulated by Kermit 95:
http://www.columbia.edu/kermit/k95.html
Kermit's terminal emulations are programmed into the software. There's
no way add a terminal emulation with a script, but of course you can
customize the keymap.
If the 8860 is not like BA80 or 97801, we might consider adding it if we
had the specifications.
As for DOS and Unix... MS-DOS Kermit does not emulate any Nixdorf or
Siemens-Nixdorf terminals. C-Kermit does not emulate any terminals at all;
see:
http://www.columbia.edu/kermit/ckfaq.html#term
for an explanation.
