I don't see how kermit has anything to do with this..
Nor do I see flow control.
The modem is presenting RING when the phone rings, which is being accepted
by the unix box as a login.
The modem might be set for CD-always-on, instead of CD-follows-carrier, or
the cable might be incorrect, causing CD to be presented to the unix box,
or the unix box might be incorrectly configured for CD (configured as a
hardwired port, instead of modem control), or it might be a defective getty
image, which shouldn't be true in a modern unix, but we don't know what
version is in use here.
The modem could be configured not to present RING when the incoming line
rings, but that's a workaround.
