Try checking the IRQ setting on your modem.. Terminal will NOT work under Any
IRQ other that 3 or 4.   I am entirely sure that that is your problem because of
the fact that you are setting your port in kermit to BIOS 3.  Just find you 
modem manual and look at what jumpers indicate which IRQ you are using.  
REMEMBER THE COM/MODEM IRQ's MUST NOT CONFLICT with each other.  If you find 
that my solution is incorrect or that you can make it work on an IRQ other that
3 or 4 please email me and let me know how you pulled it off.  I have been 
struggling with the fact that kermit and terminal will not work with a non 3 or 4 IRQ.
