Subject: How can one make C-Kermit relinquish a port?

I'm using C-Kermit 5A (191) under OS/2 Warp, and I would like to be
able to make C-Kermit "give up" the COM port at will. For example,
suppose I'm on a regular dialup connection, but then I decide I want
to hang up and re-connect via SLIP. Everything is fine is the SLIP
driver is already running, but it complains when I start it up with
C-Kermit already running because (I presume) C-Kermit has the port.
I end up having to close C-Kermit, start the SLIP driver, and then
re-open C-Kermit in order to "set port slipcom1" and dial. Is there
any way around this?
Thanks ...
Andy
