Please read the KERMIT.BWR that comes on your MS-DOS Kermit diskette,
the section about PC serial ports and internal modems. It will tell what
you need to know.

If it doesn't use a nonstandard address or IRQ, and if there is no IRQ
conflict, just tell Kermit to "set port com3". If that doesn't do it, then
please read the aforementioned file.
For increasing packet sizes and other methods of making file transfers go
faster, please read the aforementioned FAQ.
