The only reliable method to test the connection is a
"Telnet Are You There?" query. If you are not testing the connection
via this method you can make no assumption about the reliability of the
connection. All you know at this point you are typing at the
keyboard.

Which indicates that your Telnet connection was no longer valid because
the AIX box did not recognize that the connection was terminated. If the
AIX box received the connection closure it would have terminated the
shell, the kermit process, and anything else that you were running.
