Close. It says the port address is ok so Kermit can reach
the UART for transmission. What it does not say is received bytes
can reach Kermit. And that means the IRQ must be correct as well
because that is what causes Kermit to read the UART for received
information. Both port address and IRQ must be correct and free
of conflict.
Btw, we are at version 3.15 beta these days, a great deal
further along the road than v3.11.
