Well, I'm not sure, but...

I have a similar problem running MS-Kermit 3.1 under MS-DOS.  My modem
is on COM4.  When I tell Kermit to use COM4, it tells me there is no
hardware for this port, and uses BIOS4.  When I connect, I get a
screen full of characters.

I'm not sure, but I think Kermit's port definitions are screwed up.
After a lot of trial and error, I found that I can get Kermit to work
by telling it to use COM2.  *All* of my other programs use COM4.  Very
strange.  Anyway, you might try using COM4.

Good luck...
