Just get back to the kermit> prompt, and background kermit using ^Z.
Then start up pppd from your normal shell prompt. fg kermit again when
finished with ppp, so that you can hang up and exit cleanly.
Or to exit kermit completely without hanging up, hit ^\q, I
think...experiment with it, I know it's ^\ something. (c: Be happy.
Be happy...
