- The 188 release has a new command, SET CARRIER ON or SET CARRIER OFF. What

-
- To make it work the way you are used to, put the command SET CARRIER OFF
- in your ini file. This will disable carrier detection.

-
- I think it means the call has been made. You get to the C-Kermit prompt.
- At this point, type "Connect" to get into your terminal screen and away
- you go.
-
- I think the reason they changed it is to make scripting better. You can now
- tell Kermit to repeat something until a carrier is detected, for example.
