Which Kermit do you start up? The current version is 7.0:

earlier releases like 6.0 (1996) don't work well on Linux versions
that came out subsequently.

You can also include the -S ("stay") command-line option so it doesn't
exit. You can also log the session, etc etc.

It's an interesting idea. If you have a way of invoking C-Kermit that
redirects both the standard input and standard output to/from tty1, it
might work.
Follow up to kermit-support@columbia.edu with details/problems, to spare
the newsgroup. But if you do get it working, it's worth another posting.
