Please read about the SET CARRIER command. It lets you adjust Kermit to
the behavior of your modem. The default is SET CARRIER AUTO, which means
to NOT require carrier during DIAL operation, but to require it during
CONNECT mode. SET CARRIER ON means to require it at all times, so of
course that doesn't work if your modem is following RS-232. SET CARRIER
OFF means to ignore carrier.

It won't do that unless you told it to. Look in your CKERMIT.INI or
CKERMOD.INI file for "set carrier on". You probably put this command
in there a while back and forgot about it.
Also, I'd recommend you upgrade to version 5A(190), which is light-years
ahead of 5A(189) in its capabilities.
