Bury the poor thing.
Kermit provides no RPI support. Such support is proprietary to
Rockwell and they will not make public any details. Further, the only
V.42/V.42 bis helper they have issued is software for Windows-only. The
modem itself is incapable of error correction and of compression. You
thus have a low grade modem, and at today's prices you would do far
better for barely a few more dollars/lira/pounds.
Shop carefully, and inform your colleagues when they purchase
modems.
