Yes....
The modem is not correctly responding to one (or more) of the commands
being sent to it by kermit. If the modem really IS a motorola-montan,
then Kermit may have an error in its builtin commands for that modem.
If it is some other modem that you believe to be compatible with the
motorola montana, then it probably isn't completely so and again one of
Kermit's builtin commands is causing it to choke.
try the command:
show modem
after having set the modem type, and it should show you the list of
what Kermit thinks are the correct commands for that modem type. If
you find some that are wrong, you can change them with the
set modem command <command> <value>
command.
