C-Kermit embodies the notion of a "services directory" that does what you
want. It is done completely by scripts. It relies on certain features that
C-Kermit has that MS-DOS Kermit 3.14 and earlier did not have, such as
arrays. But MS-DOS Kermit 3.15 adds many of these features:

and so it should be fairly easy, or at least possible, to adapt C-Kermit's
services directory to MS-DOS Kermit. Everything you need is in the standard
ckermit.ini file:
