The C-Kermit book has always stated that if you want to use C-Kermit
to converse directly with a modem's command processor, you have to give
this command. The fact that you didn't have to give the command in a
previous C-Kermit version means either that (a) the mechanism for properly
handling modem signals on your particular platform had not yet been
discovered (but now it has), or (b) something else changed, e.g. the
cable and/or modem and/or serial device driver and/or OS version.
In any case, C-Kermit dials by itself without your having to access the
modem's command processor, so in most cases there is no need to interact
directly with the modem.
If you say why you need to get at the modem's command processor, maybe
we can suggest a better approach.
