A frequently asked question. The short answer: Yes.
The medium answer: COM3 and above have no standard address or IRQ,
hence communications software (Kermit or anything else) can't always
find them, in which case you have to specify the address and IRQ,
using a sequence like:
SET COM3 \x3e8 5
SET PORT COM3
The long answer: Read section 6 of the KERMIT.BWR file on your MS-DOS
Kermit 3.14 diskette.
