We have had this report sitting in our queue for some time (and have
responded directly to Michael about it). We have a similar setup here
(VMS system with USR Courier on serial port) and can dial out to a number
which is answered by another USR modem (in this case, one of their
rackmounts), with no trouble whatsoever.
All I can suggest is to look at the detailed configurations (NVRAM, DIP
switches, and all) in the USR modems on each end and fool with it until works.
You should be using (and I know you are) VMS C-Kermit 7.0 Beta.05 or later for
dialing out, since earlier versions did not know they had to set &S0 in the
modem (a peculiarity of VMS). And of course the dialout line must be
configured /MODEM /PERM. See the CKVINS.TXT file for details (lots of them).
