This will work.

Start with something simple. When you enter CONNECT mode on both
machines and type data, are you able to see anything on the other
machine?
: I also used the mode command to set the com port parameters to

: baud = 115200 parity = NONE
: databits = 7 stopbits = 1
: TO = OFF XON = OFF
: IDSR = OFF ODSR = OFF
: OCTS = OFF DTR = OFF
: RTS = OFF BUFFER = ON

the mode command only sets up the initial values for the port. But
they will be overridden by commands issued from within Kermit.
Are you sure that both ports are working?
Are you able to use them to communicate with a modem?
