all modem will hang if the data terminal ready(computer)
isn't talking to it any more...
thus when you exit kermit the modem goes "oh well i am not 
needed anymore let me hangup this connection."

remedy: tell the modem to relax by doing 
a at&d0
this will always keep the data terminal ready line on.
