This may not have anything to do with Windows 95. When MS-Kermit exits
it does not drop the phone connection (a very nice feature which allows
MS-Kermit to be used as a dialer for TCP/IP services). That is, are
you sure the modem is hung up? Using only the MS-Kermit hangup subcommand
is dependent on the modem's DTR setting. Suggest you make certain the modem
is hung up by: 1) Logging off your host computer normally.
This may or may not render a modem NO CARRIER message.
If it does, you're done. If not, go to Step 2.
2) While still at the MS-Kermit host screen, issue the
modem escape sequence (default is +++, ASCII 43 in
modem register 2). After typing this 3-character
escape sequence from the host screen, you should see
the response OK; now issue ATH (modem hangup).
Then try using COM port again.
