There is TCPware which will provide telnet and ftp, but it costs some 
serious money.  I don't think it's possible to get Kermit to talk 
over ethernet.  The only other option I can think of is DECnet 
(especially if the system already has it installed), with something 
on the other end that speaks DECnet, such as Linux.
