What Frank forgot to mention is that there is a known bug in all
versions of Kermit 95 associated with the use a externally passed
serial communication handles.
As documented in ftp:/ftp.kermit.columbia.edu/kermit/k95/newbugs.txt
745. Communication devices passed to Kermit as handles are
closed on exit
Starting in the next release, if a communication device is
passed to Kermit 95 for use via an already existing HANDLE, the
default for the SET EXIT HANGUP command will be OFF.
Please read http://www.columbia.edu/~jaltman/ for details on how you
can obtain a fix to this problem.
