Try this experiment. Bring up Kermit normally, dial another modem
anywhere by hand from Connect mode to watch the action. After the CONNECT
message has appeared type ALT-X to leave Connect mode. At the Kermit prompt
then give commands SET CARRIER ON, SERVER. Now reach over and manually
hang up the phone or switch off the modem or remove the telephone cord. The
instant CD drops Kermit pops out of Server mode and the Kermit prompt shows.
It's at the Kermit prompt that one has a tiny looping script
which invokes Server mode, and possibly other refinements.
This is for version 3.14 of MS-DOS Kermit.
