I don't think you can, at least not with Kermit.

You can make the 6480 "emulate" a 1660, somewhat, with the following
POKE statements:

POKE 56590,65:POKE 56588,47:REM for 300 baud operation
POKE 56590,65:POKE 56588,63:REM for 1200 bps operation

However, I seem to recall that Kermit has no facilities for specific
modem line control.  That means that you cannot have Kermit bring the
6480 on-line.  I believe the same problem exists with Kermit and the
1660.  (maybe somebody could possibly install a HOOK TOGGLE option to
this otherwise splendid program?)
