How about C-Kermit 6.0 (not Beta)? Please obtain the final release version,
and make sure it is the one that is built specifically for SCO OSR5:

I am not sure what you mean by '^!'. Is this an ordinary string, or is it
supposed to be a control character? (This is not a totally stupid question --
The conventions for assigning control characters to punctuation keys are
different in different countries.)
: Who is the responsible ?
: one of the modem ?
: SCO ?
: kermit on the server ?

: I'm sure the string is emitted (I've a local analyser).

: parameter ?

If it is a control character, tell Kermit to "set prefixing none". This
will ensure that all control characters are escaped (quoted).
If it is truly a string (circumflux character followed by exlamation mark),
then I think there must be something in the path between the two Kermit
programs (a modem? a terminal server? another host?) that uses '^!' as an
escape sequence. In that case, you must (a) set the device to allow this
sequence to pass through transparently, or (b) use Kermit's "set send
double-char" command to send two copies of the '^' character for every one
that is in the data stream. Choice (b) will work if the non-transparent
intermediate device passes one copy of '^' if it receives two consecutively.
