[net.micro.atari] "apple as terminal with modem7"

pc260@ucsfcgl.UUCP (12/03/83)

There have been several notes about the above.  You need an
Apple running CP/M (not necessarily but this is a good way) with
disk drive and 80 cols.  You need a serial card (I recommend the
CCS 7710D) and a modem.  

Next you need software.  ZTERM Professional is very good with a nice
macro capability for about $120.  However, MODEM7 has everything
but the macros AND you get source code, plus batch transfers of 
files to another MODEM7.  The latest version around that I have seen
is MDM712.COM.  There is an associated library called MDM712.LBR which
contains the object code, documentation and a bunch of overlays for LOTS
of different computers.  This is a public domain program that is widely
available on bulletin boards.

There a couple of versions of UNIX programs that implement the XMODEM
or Christensen protocols that modem7 uses.  I have seen umodem and tmodem.
