kermit from SunOS to ethernet?

Kermit asks for a "line", being a /dev/tty#, to get out of a Unix machine.
Our Unix machines have no available serial ports, as we connect to them
via their ethernet controllers.  We DO have 3COM (Bridge) CS210
communications servers (tcp/ip) connected on our ethernet, so we can
connect, modems, etc. through these servers to ethernet.  

Thus I can use the Unix telnet command to connect to a modem interactively, 
and I can pipe through a telnet script:
   #
   cat | (telnet modem.address) >>& modem.log
to a modem.  But I cannot start Kermit and get to a modem or to
anything else on ethernet.

QUESTION:  how can I get to an ethernet address, with kermit, from Unix?
Oddly, this "simple" thing is darned elusive.
