If the modem is hooked up and working, and Kermit is configured
corrected to use it, you should be able to CONNECT to the modem,
type AT and then press the Enter key, and see the AT letters echo,
and see the response from the modem, either "OK" or "0" depending
on its response mode -- assuming the modem has not been configured
to no-echo, no-response mode.
