So the modem hasn't answered the phone yet. ATS0=<non-zero digit>
is the way to tell it to answer incoming calls, naturally.

Sure looks as if you have other software banging on the modem
at the same time (Fax??). Have a look for competing software.

No need for Kermit. But your modem may be one which is less than
clever and require AT commands in upper case only.

PCMCIA anythings have trouble with computers is the proper description
of such difficulties. It's not Kermit, it's the total confusion and muddle of
the sundry PCMCIA components. Kermit is unaware of PCMCIA and has no need to
be aware of that stuff.
