Subject: No response to "set line /dev/ttyS1"

After seven years of using CKermit to connect with my ISP, it's
suddenly stopped responding to a "set line" command. Kermit just
sits there with the cursor at the beginning of the line following
the "set line" command; I've given it as long as thirty minutes.
At this point, Kermit is unresponsive to ctrl-c or ctrl-\ c, or
ctrl-q or ctrl-d. The one successful key is ctrl-z, which stops
Kermit. Upon returning to Kermit with "fg" I get a prompt, and
at that point if I type ctrl-c I seem to regain Kermit's attention.
The only thing I've changed on my system is that I've fired up pppd a
few times. Of course, pppd is not running when I'm trying to use
Kermit. The lock files for both Kermit and pppd are made and removed
in /var/lock, and Kermit does complain about permissions if I try to
"set line" when pppd is running, so I'd expect that if pppd has
changed the permissions of something that Kermit needs, I'd get an
error message.
I know the modem itself works fine, as the ppp link is successful.
Can anyone give me some hints as to what Kermit might be waiting for,
given the lack of response to interrupt?
I'm running C-Kermit 6.0.192, on SuSE 6.3 Linux, with kernel 2.2.13.
TIA,
