Ok, I tried again, and this is what happens:

***NOTE: convention for prompts
        linux% is the tcsh prompt on my linux box
        remote% is the tcsh prompt on the unix system at school (UB)
                (armstrong.cs.buffalo.edu)
        UBNET> is the prompt where we connect to various machines here
                at UB (Xyplex).
        L-kermit> kermit prompt on my linux box

1. Use kermit to dial in and log on my school account as usual.

2. Send break character for linux kermit (CTRL-\ b).
remote%
**BREAK**
UBNET> set sess past /* set login session passthrough */
UBNET> res 1 /* resume login session */
remote%

3. start term on the computer at school
remote% term

4. get back to local linux kermit prompt (CTRL-\ c)

5. get out of kermit
L-kermit> ^Z
/* kermit is suspended */

6. run term on linux box
linux% term < /dev/modem > /dev/modem &

7. attempt to make connection
linux% tredir 2112 23
linux% telnet localhost 2112
telnet: unable to connect to remote host: Network is unreachable.

What's wrong? How do I fix it? Should I be running kermit in the
background? Please help me! Thanks.
