To paraphrase Lyndon Johnson, "Son, you've got the only manual there
is". There is some additional info about Telebits in the ckcker.bwr.
Well, a lot...
But really, I think all you need to do is:
C-Kermit>set modem v42-telebit
C-Kermit>sho dial
Modem: v42-telebit, speed: 38400
Dial directory: (none)
Dial hangup: on, dial modem-hangup: on
Dial kermit-spoof: off, dial display: off
Dial speed-matching: on, dial mnp-enable: off
Dial init-string: \{17}AAAAATQ0X1S12=50 S2=43 I\{13} <---
Dial dial-command: ATD%s\{13}
Dial prefix: (none)
Dial timeout: 0 (auto), Redial number: (none)
Carrier: auto
C-Kermit>exit
There it is. But really, it turns out that C-Kermit 5A(190) and
earlier support Telebits in a rather unnecessarily convoluted way,
the upshot of which is that if you change the init string, you
also wind up preventing some other important stuff from happening.
In the forthcoming release, 5A(192), matters will be a lot
simpler. But in the meantime, why not just do this:
set carrier off
output ATZ\13
set carrier auto
and then DIAL.
