RTFM. Kermit has a powerful script language. Look at the CCSO Kermit doc
in gopher for a full page of references, or ftp to watsun.cc.columbia.edu.
Many sample scripts are disctributed with MS-DOS kermit that will do what you
want. A trivial one would be:
:dial-loop
out ATDT xxx-xxxx\13
in 45 BUSY
if suc goto dial-loop
echo Not Busy, so I assume we're connected!
You can define this as a macro, or a take-file.
