Summary: ProComm runs on the serial (mouse) port but MS-Kermit won't

On a Zenith EaZy-PC, there is a built-in serial mouse port.  Experiments
had shown that ProComm can use it as a communications port at speed up
to 19,200 baud without problem, but MS-Kermit will hang the machine at
the first character.  Does anyone know why?

(To rephrase the question, if a serial port works for a serial mouse *and*
ProComm (at high baud rate), why wouldn't it work with MS-Kermit 2.30?)

BTW, the port address of this only serial port is 0x2f8, if that matters.

Any pointers would be appreciated, thank you very much in advance.

Please reply by e-mail if possible.

...Sam
