When Kermit exits it drops the DTR line, which causes the modem to 
reset.  You need to set your modem to ignore this; the way I do that is 
to send

	at&d0

to my modem.  That of course means if you kill off your PPP daemon the 
modem doesn't hang up (since it's ignoring DTR), but since I do a modem 
reset when I redial (i.e. I send "+++", wait for "OK", then send "ATZ" at 
the start of my PPP scripts) it's not been a problem for me.

Thanks,

Mike
