Assuming we are talking about Windows, you can't. Microsoft does not
supply an API that allows a regular application like Kermit 95 to dial
your ISP and then turn the connection over to the TCP/IP stack. This
is covered in the Kermit 95 FAQ:
http://www.columbia.edu/kermit/k95faq.html
It might be possible in other operating systems, with varying degrees
of difficulty and awkwardness.
In Windows, you have to use the Microsoft way of getting on the Internet
(e.g. Dial Up Networking, GUI dialog boxes). Once the Internet connection
is established, Kermit can use it as a Telnet, FTP, SSH, Rlogin, HTTP,
or other TCP service client (or, in some cases, server), and all of this
can be automated. Establishment of the ISP connection itself, however, is
off-limits to Kermit.
There might be a way to configure Windows Dial Up Networking to do its job
silently, without popping up any dialogs or prompting you for anything, but
if there is, I haven't discovered it.
