I have seen several 486 PCs with DOS 6.22, WFW 3.11 and Kermit 3.11 have
this same problem: When Kermit is first executed after rebooting, and
sometimes at other random times, the COM2 port is reported as not found and
the port defaults to BIOS2. This provides very slow response times and
sometimes hangs the machines. If you simply exit the Kermit program and
try again, it always connects to the COM port correctly. The problem has
never appeared under DOS. The machines have COM1 and COM2 ports and no
other devices are using IRQ 4 or 3. Any known solutions, work arounds or
comments will be appreciated.
