Do you have the second edition of "Using C-Kermit"? Did you read
Chapter 5? Basically, the upshot is: there is NO WAY Kermit or
any other program could know that +1 (301) 7654321 is a local call,
but +1 (301) 7654322 is long distance. So you'll need to construct
macros along the lines of those described on pages 110-112 of the
manual, and use the appropriate one for dialing each kind of number.
If you don't have the second edition, look for this info in the
DIALING.DOC (or .TXT) file in your Kermit 95 DOCS directory.
