They are dialing out to the ProCommPlus 4.8 server running in host
mode with the Kermit protocol on Win2000, as mentioned in the second

The problem is that as soon as the modem connection is made, the
connection is dropped. Not sure which side drops it first.
Any idea how to sustain the connection?
