Sorry to waste bandwidth but..

What does it take to run a comm-program under OS/2 1.2 EE?

I have tried two programs, namely Logicomm 2.20 (I think) and the Kermit that
was posted to comp.binaries.os2 a few days ago. I can't get any of the 
programs to work, it's like the serial port is all dead, it's even
impossible to give commands to my Hayes modem, it does not react at all.
The strange thing is, if I boot my machine in DOS-mode and start Telix,
everything works like a dream, no problems at all.
So what could be wrong???
I have the following line (among others) in my config.sys

DEVICE = C:\OS2\COM02.SYS

Do i need anything else besides this.

My configuration is: IBM 50Z with five megs, I have not installed the
communications manager if that makes any difference.

As you probably understand I'm new to OS/2.
