You have specified RTS/CTS (hardware flow control)...

But no modem signals are seen by Kermit. When RTS/CTS flow control is
selected, nothing can be sent out the port unless the CTS signal is On.

Try "set flow none" or "set flow xon/xoff". And since there is no Carrier
signal either, you might also need "set carrier-watch off".
But maybe the real problem is that you need to use the TAPI device instead
of the "DOS" device. See the Kermit 95 FAQ:
