Procomm is, of course, an unknown quantity to us, and so that makes this

This command won't work because "set modem type" was not a C-Kermit
command until version 6.0.

: set speed 9600

Ditto.

Ditto for all these.

In short, all of the advanced dialing and modem stuff is new
to C-Kermit 6.0.
If you would like to try to build C-Kermit 6.0 on Xenix 286,
please contact me; I'll be glad to help.
: Another question...The remote uses hardware fc, local kermit uses

:
More accurately, Xenix/286 does not support hardware flow control
and so is limited to software flow control.
: and does not seem to accept the set flow command. Does
: this mean the remote must be changed to software fc?
:
No. If you can enable *local* software flow control between
C-Kermit and the modem, this is the next best thing to hardware flow
control. C-Kermit 6.0 supports this; earlier versions don't.
However, you might still be able to force the local modem into this
configuration; see your modem manual.
The flow control mismatch might be the cause of the disconnect.
Again, if you (or anybody else) would like to try building C-Kermit
6.0 for Xenix/286 (or any other platform that we don't have binary
for), please contact me directly.
