Where you may run into trouble is with a newish PC that only contains PCI
slots. Pure DOS won't recognise a PCI modem, so Kermit 3.1x won't either.
I did find recently a PCI modem in windows which had a DOS "emulation"
setting, which configured the modem as COM3. This was then recognised by
Kermit 3.15 in a DOS window in Windows 98.
I have no idea if other makes of modem support this "mode", which is enabled
in Device Manager/Modems/Settings, but mine was a MagicXpress, made by Askey.
As to your original question - the lack of COM2 is no problem either way. If
your PC has an ISA slot simply hard configure the modem as COM2, and kermit
3.15 will pick it up. If you want the modem to work IN Windows with K95, then
configure it Plug&Play. K95 will see it as the TAPI modem. If you want both,
then that can get a bit complicated......
