}You probably should upgrade to the latest version of kermit (5A-190)
}there should be a freebsd package out there that will work for you.
}
}A shortterm solution is to:
}stty -f /dev/tty00 clocal 
}before you run kermit
}

You can also use the 'set carrier off' directive in your .kermrc file to
achieve a similar effect.

This tells kermit to ignore the carrier.  For dialing out, it seems to
be the way to go.
