Even if you boot a specific DOS from a floppy or a diskimage, you still
have to go through OS/2 layers to reach the hardware. Check the settings
of the program object and see if COM_DIRECT_ACCESS is enabled. This should
give Kermit access to the port you want. If not, try to use the port via
the bios: "set port bios 1".
Don't expect wonders from this setup. You're trying to run a car without
enganging it's engine. Of course, if you push hard enough you will get the
thing moving...
