Here is how I test in MSCUSTOM.INI. The reset operation has never helped.
The error occurs only after I use the CompuServe Information Manager for
Windows, then run Kermit in a full-screen window. In the PIF, I set
exclusive execution, lock application memory, retain video memory,
video memory text, 512 kbytes requested. (I see I've overlooked emulate
text.) This allows Kermit to run almost fast enough to keep up with a
14.4 kbps modem with compression.
There's never a problem running Kermit outside of Windows.
set modem intel14 ; Change this to your modem type, see MODEMS\READ.ME.
; set printer nul ; Uncomment this if you do NOT have a printer.
set com4 \x2e8 3
set port 4 ; Change if desired. If COM3 or 4, read KERMIT.BWR.
if equal \v(port) Bios4 -
echo {Trying "set port 4" again}, -
set com4 \x2e8 3, set port 4
if equal \v(port) Bios4 -
fatal {Try repeating TAKE MSCUSTOM.INI}

I'm using wvxcomm.drv dated 4-1-93 12:14a. I could not reach netlab2
by anonymous ftp.
