Subject: Can kermit take its configuration from stdin? (Unix)

I am trying to figure out if there is a way to have kermit take its
configration file from stdin. I am running on RedHat Linux 5.2. Basically, I
am running a multiport serial board (256 serial connections), and I want to
avoid writing 256 configuration files. The only configuration directive that
needs to change from file to file is the set line /dev/ttyC#. I figured it
would be nice if I could have a template file and construct the full
configuration file based on an argument or two I pass to a wrapper script I
have written for my application.

My idea, however, will only work if one can force kermit to take its config
from stdin. A cursory glance through the documentation didn't show anything
promising. Is this possible?

Thanks,
John
