I'm using C-Kermit 5 on a Sparc 10 running Solaris 2.4 with a Hayes
Smartmodem 1200.

When I dial and the number is busy, kermit simply waits until the dial
timeout interval has expired, then reports that error (dial timeout
expired). Is there a set command I should use to make Kermit respond
with an error message to a busy signal ?

Also, if the modem is not connected to the phone line, Kermit will
still dial the number and wait util the timeout has expired. Should
it be looking for a dialtone? How about recognizing a ring?

All of the internal switches on the modem are set correctly for
returning error codes, etc. , and kermit works fine with the modem
if everything's connected correctly and the number is not busy.

Any ideas?
