Not directly, for two reasons.
1. IBM's stack is for OS/2 protected mode programs only (we
presume that's the stack you are using), and that has nothing to do with
real mode DOS work.
2. One does not "just use" an external protocol stack because
such items require (by their design) proprietary interfacing procedures
to be built into the application. MS-DOS Kermit can't use such methods.

MS-DOS Kermit has its own internal TCP/IP stack which works rather
well. But that is for a real mode environment, not within another o/s.
The answer is no.

See above. No.

It means you tried to access the serial port and OS/2 denied access
to the port. Please see your OS/2 documentation about revealing serial ports
to DOS applications.

Worth a try. Since you have the material you get to find the answer.
SET PORT BIOS1 is the command to give to MSK.
> 5) Is such an INT 14h interceptor included with WARP CONNECT ?
Dunno. I don't have Warp; I have only v2.1. If you have Warp then
you also have the answer.
