Mac OS X's support for serial ports and modems remains largely a mystery
to me; e.g. details about device names, lockfiles, and such are shrouded
in obscurity. To the best of my knowledge, however, the current version
of C-Kermit does handle the port correctly, if you can find it and are
allowed to open it, and should also handle any device that "looks like"
a serial port. The commands would be:
set modem type xxxx ; Type "?" for list, choose one.
set port /dev/xxx ; Give the device name.
set speed 57600 ; Set the speed, "set speed ?" for choices.
set dial display on ; To watch what happens during dialing.
dial 7654321 ; Dial the number.
If the call succeeds, Kermit enters CONNECT (terminal) mode automatically.
For more information about any of the commands, type "help set modem",
"help set port", "help dial", etc.
When trying this, be sure to pick up the working version of C-Kermit:

Although I haven't announced it yet, this is a Beta test for the next
release, so if there are any difficulties with Mac OS X, I'd like to
iron them out now (I don't have direct access to Mac OS X myself).
