It depends on the underlying operating system. Except in DOS, Kermit
always works (and must work) through the OS's device drivers. Whatever
they do, that's the rule.

In Unix, sometimes you can open the same device with a different name to
get a different device driver. For example in HP-UX /dev/cua0p0 is for
use with modems, whereas /dev/ttyd0p0 is for direct cable connections.
It depends on the specific OS and version (not on Kermit).
