NO ANSWER is the modem's response when when the phone was not answered by

:
That's not a question about Kermit, it's a question about the modem you
are dialing with. If you dial it by hand, what response codes does it
produce in each case? All Kermit can do is read the response code and
act on them if it understands them. If they are new and strange response
codes, Kermit can be scripted to dial the modem and handle them in any
desired way.
