Hmmm. Unfortunately I have no personal experience with the AT&T DTDM.
I'll see if anybody who reads the Kermit newsgroup might be able to help.
In the meantime:
. Are you sure att-dtdm is the appropriate modem type?
. Was Kermit ever able to dial this same way before?
. Can Kermit dial other kinds of modems successfully?

So far nobody has tried building C-Kermit 7.0 on any System V release
prior to 3. If you or anybody wants to try it, I'll be glad to help get it
working, although it is not necessarily going to solve this particular
problem.
