You should reverse the first two commands, and also add:

set modem type none

before the "set line" command.

Sounds like Kermit is expected the CTS signal from the modem to be high,
but it's not. Try adding "set flow none". Or (better) configure the
modem to use RTS/CTS (hardware) flow control.

Btw, "show comm" probably would have suggested this to you, perhaps
subliminally.

Once you get it working, of course you can use Kermit's SET DIAL, SET
MODEM, and DIAL commands to configure the modem automatically or, if you
prefer, you can also use Kermit's script language.

On the other hand, if it still doesn't work, there's a whole series of
troubleshooting steps but no point reciting them yet.
