I've seen the same on my home machine - a dx2-66 with an internal supra
faxmodem v.32bis. I always get that message when trying to start ms-kermit
AFTER an incoming call has come on my line. There appears to be something
about the modem trying to send the "RING" indicator, but no application
active to get it. When kermit starts, then, it cannot verify the modem
properly, and decides that it must use BIOS1 instead of talking directly to
the modem.
If I tell kermit to "set com2 (address) (irq)" and "set port 2", then things
seem to be okay again.
I don't have a fix -- just this work-around. I've defined the above as a
macro, and if I see the above messages (cannot use RTS/CTS, etc.), then I
interrupt the dialing, run my macro, and re-do the dial command.
Hope this helps.
