I am using C-Kermit on a VMS machine with over a dialup connection with
modems attached to a DECserver 200MC using LAT.  The problem I am
experiencing is that the modem connection is dropped when C-Kermit exits
and closes the port.  This only happens when the call is originated by the
VMS machine, it does not happen when the VMS machine is on the answering
end.  Normally it would make sense for the originator of a dialup
connection to close that connection when it exits.  However, in my
situation the VMS machine is being accessed using a dialback system.  So,
the VMS machine will hang up on a caller and originate a call back to
them.  It is not acceptable for the connection to be lost when C-Kermit
exits.  Is there any way to inhibit C-Kermit from closing the port when it
exits?
