You should put a SET MODEM TYPE command between the SET HOST and DIAL
commands, right? (See p.126 of "Using C-Kermit".)
: hangup
: set line /dev/tty12 # This is to use a regular serial modem.
: --------
: At this point "show comm" reports that the speed of /dev/tty12 is "unknown".
: All attempts to actually use /dev/tty12 lock up until kermit is exited.
: If the "hangup" command is NOT used, then the set line works, and access to
: tty12 is normal.

Version 6.0 has some bugs in the area of switching back & forth between
connection types. Some of these are fixed in 6.1 Beta.05:
http://www.columbia.edu/kermit/ck61.html
and some more will be fixed in 7.0, which will be announced shortly for
Beta testing.
