Assuming you know what parity is...
Modern versions of MS-DOS Kermit, C-Kermit, and Kermit 95 attempt to
detect parity automatically. If a packet arrives in which the bytes
are marked consistently with a particular kind of parity (even, odd,
or mark), Kermit issues a message such as the one above and switches
to the detected kind of parity.
This should only happen when a valid Kermit packet is received; it
should not be caused by line noise.
The fact that your modem will no longer autoanswer probably has nothing
to do with this. As noted in previous discussions here, you have to
configure your modem to stay in autoanswer mode for each call, rather
than reverting back to originate mode after answering one call.
The method for doing this depends on your modem.
