You'll need to look at your modem manual. If it's a Hayes compatible (i.e.
uses the AT command set), then it's probably a matter of changing the "X"
value in the init string. Most Kermit init strings use X4, in order to get
the widest possible selection of result codes. In many modems, X3 is used
to select "blind dialing" (i.e. without waiting for dialtone), but this also
sacrifices the ability to get a BUSY response, and therefore to redial
automatically if the line is busy. Hopefully your modem has finer-grained
selections.
A good way to change the X value in the init string is, after you set your
modem type (normally in k95custom.ini):
set modem type xxxx
set modem command init \freplace(\v(m_init),X4,X3)
This assumes your modem type is "xxxx", and its init string contains X4.
: I can find nothing about this in the FAQ; perhaps it should be added.

Good idea. The same question often comes up with regard to PBXs that have
"funny dialtones". We'll probably add an explicit selection for this in a
future release.
