Is it possible for you to use "chat" rather than "kermit"?

Here's my startup script (from 1.1.5.1, but should still work on 2.x):

/usr/libexec/pppd /dev/cua04 38400 ${1+"$@"} connect /etc/ppp/sam-chat defaultroute name taronga.neosoft.com

/etc/ppp/sam-chat contains:

chat -v "" ATQ0 OK ATDT9999999 CONNECT "" ogin: XXXXXXX word: XXXXXXX
