OS/2 2.0 and 2.1...

MS-DOS Kermit can run in a window of OS/2 2.x and, of course, also in a full
screen.  Kermit's flow control has no effect because OS/2 itself is
controlling the device.  You can configure OS/2 to handle flow control itself
by adding a command like the following to your STARTUP.CMD file:

    MODE COM1 XON=ON	      (for XON/XOFF software flow control) 
or:
    MODE COM1 RTS=HS OCTS=ON  (for RTS/CTS hardware flow control)

If your PC's communication port is a 16550A[FN] UART serial communication
adapter (as is standard on the PS/2), it has a built-in buffer to improve
performance.  To enable use of the 16550's buffering capability, add BUFFER=ON
to your MODE command:

    MODE COM1 XON=ON BUFFER=ON	       (for XON/XOFF software flow control) 
or:
    MODE COM1 RTS=HS OCTS=ON BUFFER=ON (for RTS/CTS hardware flow control)

If you don't have a buffered UART, MS-DOS Kermit will lose characters galore
at high transmission speeds.

IDLE_SENSITIVITY should be set to 0 and IDLE_DETECTION_TIME should be 100 to
reduce the jerkiness of DOS sessions.

TCP/IP (and presumably other networks supported by MS-DOS Kermit) cannot be
used with OS/2.  OS/2's network interface is totally different from the
methods (such as Packet Drivers) used by DOS.  (You can, however, run MS-DOS
Kermit over packet drivers, etc, if you boot a suitably-equipped DOS from your
A: disk in a DOS window.)
