As noted in the manual, the necessary sequence is:
set modem type xxxx
set line /dev/ttya
set speed 19200
dial 98371933
If you SET LINE before you SET MODE, Kermit does not know it is a modem-
control device when it opens it.

"hayes" is probably not the right choice. It means "hayes-1200" or
"hayes-2400", whereas you probably are using something newer, which has
totally different characteristics and behavior. This is explained in great
detail in the manual. Type "set modem type ?" to see a list of supported
modems.
By the way, the current version of C-Kermit is 6.0:
