Just suspend/stop Kermit (hit ^Z). Works for me.

load kermit
dial/connect
run term (make sure you specify that your host is the remote term by doing:

  term -r

  Or placing the appropriate entries into your ~/.term/termrc file)

escape to kermit
^Z
term </dev/modem >/dev/modem 2>/dev/null&

etc...
