Subject: Need interactive Kermit to exit completely on modem disconnect

Hi,
I run kermit on my UNIX system as a replacement for tip. I typically start
up kermit "from the keyboard", the .kermrc points it at my modem attached
to one of my machine's serial ports, I type "c" to connect to the modem
and it's straightforward terminal interaction from their. When I log
out of my remote host and my modem disconnects, I am bounced back to the
the local Kermit> prompt. Fine for many years.
But now I would like to use that same line and modem for uucp dial-outs and
dial-ins as well. I could quit Kermit, and kermit would remove its lock files
and give up the line and I'd be all set. But I've been doing that for months
now, and seem to forget to exit Kermit explicitely all too often. It would
be nice if Kermit automatically exited gracefully on loss of carrier detect:
nicer still (I think?) if it relinquished the tty line and removed its
lock but did not exit upon loss of carrier.
Can I configure kermit to behave this way? If not "out of the box",
any pointers toward hacking a solution? I'd bet there's a one-line solution.
Thanks in advance!
