Modem/Kermit interfacing problems

I am having real trouble with my new 1200 bps internal modem.  It works just
fine with Crosstalk, the communications program thatcame with the modem; how-
ever, Kermit just doesn't like it at all.  I can send dial commands to the
modem from Kermit -- and it connects -- but I *never* see anything on the
screen.

In Crosstalk, I was using 2400/8/1/N/COM1, and I was using the same exact
thing in Kermit.  In both instances, I was emulating a VT100 terminal.  To
further expand on this, I tried testing the modem from both Crosstalk and
from Kermit, but with no remote connection -- same problem.  I checked, both
programs were in full duplex mode.  With Kermit, I tried ATE1 and ATQ0 to no
avail (these are the default setting anyway).

As for hardware information, I have an XT-class machine, 640k, just in case
that makes a difference.  Please help me as I *need* Kermit to be able to 
work.  Crosstalk connects, but I can't run WordPerfect from the Sun system,
nor can I download files from the Suns without the Kermit protocol, which
Crosstalk doesn't provide.  And to top it off, I personally thing Crosstalk
just doesn't measure up.  Help!

Thanks,
Edwin Alexander
