This is a message from the caller, right? In that case, it means what it
says. The "set line" command failed because the device is already owned
by some other process. In this case your script could sleep, loop, sleep,
loop, etc, until the line becomes free. Or it can send email to somebody,
whatever you want -- for example, if other lines have modems, you could
cycle through them until you get one. See the C-Kermit script library
for examples:

If it's from the callee, something is very wrong. If so, please follow up
with details (from your script, it looks to me like the callee is already
running Kermit in server mode, so I assume we are talking about the caller).
