: Thanks Frank. I will try the set dial display on for clues and look into
: kermit 7.0. I initially issued these commands:
:
: set line /dev/term/mp1/device#
: set modem type motorola-fastalk
: set file type binary
: dial phone#

You need to reverse the first two commands, and you should also include
a SET SPEED command, or else dialing will be at some random speed:
set modem type motorola-fastalk
set line /dev/term/mp1/device#
set speed 9600 ; or whatever
set file type binary
set dial display on ; to watch what happens
dial phone#
As noted in the manual, the SET MODEM TYPE command must precede the
SET LINE command so Kermit can call tell the OS to allow the serial device
to be opened even though it is not presenting carrier.
