So did you try it?

That just shows the modem signal transitions.

:
The "prompt" is the character from the the receiver of the transmission
that indicates it is ready for the next line. Kermit uses 10 (linefeed)
by default, for the customary case in which it sends <line><CR> and
the receiver echoes back <line><CR><LF>, on the assumption that it might
not be safe to send line n+1 before line n is finished echoing.
Your case obviously does not fit this model, so you'll need either
choose a different prompt character, or disable the prompt mechanism
altogether with "set transmit prompt 0". You might also need to change
some other SET TRANSMIT settings as well as communication settings.
They are all described in the book, but I can't tell exactly what to
do because I don't have access to your device.
