CARRIER <number> is a "call progress" message, not a call completion
message. MS-DOS Kermit scripts such as PP14400.SCR ignore them (but
print them on the screen so the user can see what's going on). They do
no harm at all, and in fact Kermit enables them on purpose (ATW1).
The call completion message would be CONNECT <number>. The high-speed
MS-DOS Kermit dialing scripts look for "CONNECT" and ignore the <number>,
thus keeping the interface speed fixed.
And by the way, MS-DOS Kermit 3.14 (the current version, released just
a couple weeks ago) supports 28800 as an interface speed, even though it
should rarely be necessary to use it (remember: when using high-speed,
error-correcting, data-compressing modems, your interface speed should
be higher than the connection speed to allow compression to do its stuff).
