Dorothy's suggestions are well taken, and may be sufficient.

You may have to turn TAPI off, or install the modem as a non-TAPI
serial device.  The TAPI driver (Telephony Applications Programming
Interface) creates a named device from the modem, and COM2 is
thereafter accessible only via the TAPI named device.  DOS Kermit, of
course, doesn't know from TAPI and messes up.  You can try using the
TAPI device name (it will be listed in your Modems object in the
control panel) instead of COM2 for Kermit, but I don't know whether DOS
Kermit will recognize it.

An alternative to those two solutions (installing as a non-TAPI modem
or using the TAPI device name for Kermit) you may elect to purchase
Kermit 95.  It is not free, sadly, but it has an excellent Win95
interface and is much more user friendly than DOS Kermit.  It offers
all of the benefits of DOS Kermit, and more, along with a very elegant
front end.
