Probably none. Debug logs will (with little doubt) reveal that the host is
closing the connection, but obviously not why it is doing so. Kermit doesn't
close the Telnet connection unless you ask it to.
The when you make a Telnet connection over SLIP or PPP, the underlying serial
connection is totally invisible (and inaccessible) to Kermit.
