  Yes it is supported is MS-DOS 3.3

Here's the command

MODE COMm[:]baud[,parity[,databits[,stopbits,p]]]]

m - port # (1,2,3,4 only)
baud - baud rate
parity - N(one, )(dd, E(ven,. - defaut = E.
databits - 7 or 8 - default = 7.
stopbits - 1 or 2 - default = 1 unless baud = 110, then it is 2.
p  -  specifies that this port is being used for a a serial printer.

Default settings are Com1, even parity and 7 databits.

If you got any other questions, feel free to call.
