Yes, there is the problem -- the exit. When you exit kermit, it
drops dtr which hangs up the modem. If you don't want to "waste"
the shell that's running kermit, then after (or before) you
start term, suspend kermit -- at the kermit> prompt hit ctl-Z.
Then after you kill your term process, fg to get back to kermit
(you may have to CONnect back to the remote).
I always suspend kermit rather than running term (or rz/sz)
via !, so that I don't accidentally quit and drop my connection.
Instead I just have to remember there's a kermit in the background :-)
