MICROSOFT WINDOWS, DESQVIEW, OS/2, ETC.

Although MS-DOS Kermit can work in these environments, and even takes advantage
of many of their features, it does not have a "graphical user interface".  You
still have to type commands to the MS-Kermit> prompt or execute them from
command files with the TAKE command.

OS/2 1.x...

NOTE: The recommended communications software for OS/2 (any version) is
C-Kermit 5A(188) or later, which is a native OS/2 application.

Under OS/2 1.3 and earlier, MS-DOS Kermit only runs in full-screen mode.
Under 1.x of OS/2, the serial port must first be conditioned by the command:

  SETCOM40 COM1=ON
