None. Kermit can be used to prove that the problem is with the
serial port rather than with ppp. If kermit works, ppp should, if
kermit doesn't, ppp won't. People find that easier to accept than
believing that ppp is not to blame for dodgy or misconfigured
hardware.

The one in the ports collection.
