I have a problem with the MODEM command in Kermit v.3.7x.
     
I think it has more to do with a small oversight than with an actual bug
in the program.
I need to dial the '*'.  I am on a phone system that has call waiting,
and you need to dial the '*' to turn this feature off.
     
'*' and '#' are valid dialing characters, (I've owned two different
modems, and both could dial them.)  but Kermit interpets the '*'
as a pause command and won't send it to the modem.
     
Could someone please tell me the location to poke a new value into
to change the pause command character to a non-dialing character (for
instance, '%' or '&')?
     
I use the SSC driver if that information is necessary.
     
Thank you very much for any help.
       take care,
                                     -Bri
