OS/2 C-Kermit locks the port when it is in use so that other applications
cannot interfere with it.

Correct. OS/2 doesn't allow files to remain open past the end of an
application. It automatically closes all open files.

In the next version of C-Kermit for OS/2 [5A(191)], there is now SLIPTERM
support which allows C-Kermit to grab control of the COM port from the
SLIP driver. This way you can start a slip session, and use C-Kermit
as your terminal emulation and scripting package.

The program needs to be written so that it can accept a file handle instead
of a port name. This way the program can be started as a child process of
C-Kermit and inherit the open comm port.
