[comp.dcom.modems] Why KERMIT will not run with Emerson 2400INA

Hi
   I was in need of an optimally priced internal modem. So I purchased
an Emerson 2400 internal modem. The problem is that "Kermit" will not
run with that modem. I tried all the four com ports, but the modem
does not even echo the characters on the screen. The above modem works
just fine with the software supplied with the modem, which is bitcom,
if that means anything. I am interested only in a modem that will run
kermit.
   Could somebody please tell me why some modems would work with
"Kermit" and how I can differentiate those that will. I would appreciate
any comments. 
   I am looking at "Computer Shopper" and wish to know how to buy one
that will run kermit and not learn about it after I buy it.

Thanks in anticipation
