Try setting the kermit port to some other possibilites, and doing show com.
I've seen cases as you describe. Kermit looks okay when looking at the
port I added. Mouse, or other comm packages work, but kermit won't work.
Later I find that I have another port at that same address or IRQ.
Try removing or disabling the other ports temporarily.

If by MODE you mean the set starting with A10 then those
are DMA transfer affairs, for disk drives and such. Serial ports
don't use that material. Serial ports need a proper PORT value
and an IRQ; MS-DOS Kermit checks these for expected behavior.
The MSK command SET PORT COMn Port-value IRQ-value can help when
the system uses a non-standard configuration.
