I'm sure there's a simple remedy for this situation, but how do I make
/dev/com2 accessible to a non-su user?  As it is now, I can't use kermit unless
I become the super-user first.  And I can't just add read-write capability to
/dev/com2, because it's reset when I boot.  So what can I do?

Thanks for any help!
