I need help using MS Kermit 3.0 through one of the BIOS ports.

I have a PC on a Novell system, and connecting to a server which has a
Micon TCP Gateway on it to allow us to connect to the campus ethernet.
To access the ethernet through the Micon supported TELNET or FTP, we
have to attach to the server, map a search drive to get to the files
needed to run the gateway, load NETBIOS, run this program called GWATTACH,
which allows the PC to attach to the gateway itself, then run telnet or
ftp supplied program.  The gateway knows the addresses of the nameservers
so it can use telnet or ftp hostname rather than hostnumber.

What I want to do is to use MS Kermit 3.0 instead of telnet to connect to
other machines on the ethernet.  How do I tell kermit which host to connect
to using a BIOS port?  (After reading the documentation, it seems like
both sides have to be running NETBIOS to connect to each other.  Since
the machine I'm connecting to is not a PC, I guess I'm not suppose to go
this route.)  Is there some way for me to attach to a machine through the
BIOS port in kermit?
