Try this (it works on all our SCO systems from Xenix to OS5.05)
locate the kermit binary
chown uucp kermit
chgrp uucp kermit
chmod 4755 kermit
You may also want to check the ownership/permission of the device the
modem is
on to be sure it is owned by uucp. Also try running /etc/uuinstall #5
to check the
consistency of uucp files/directories.
