As Joe Doupnik never tires of explaining, Windows does not let Kermit at
the real port, but only at a poor simulation of it.
See the Kermit FAQ for hints on how to hammer Windows into submission.
Basically, just keep repeating yourself: "set port 1... I said SET PORT 1!
I SAID... SET PORT 1!!!"
Also, you should have better luck with Kermit 95, which is written
specifically for Windows 95. It uses the Windows drivers and follows
Windows rules, thus keeping Windows happy. It also makes TCP/IP connections
over Windows' built-in Winsock stack, which also makes Windows happy.
