I have been told (by two seperate sources) that Commodore plans to
release a corrected version of the vt100 emulator it packages with
the 1670 modem to registered owners.
The problems previously mentioned have proved to be software,
not hardware, in nature. One or two of the problems are in
bsd 4.3 UNIX, as verified by myself using an hp2622a terminal
and Hayes smartmodem at 1200 baud.
I'm not affiliated with Commodore but one of my sources is. The other
talked with the fellow that wrote the emulator via CompuServe. In the
meantime the current version still beats working at 300 baud by a
considerable margin. The modem works with my VIPterm but I usually
use the Commodore software for the built-in XMODEM transfer.
I am not affiliated with VIPterm either.

I double checked and found that I was *WRONG*. The correct information is that corrected versions of the modem software will be available for downloading on Compuserve and Quantum Link, for a 'nominal' charge. These versions should be available in a few days. Upgrades of CPM *WILL* be sent to registered owners. Apparently, CPM is more a part of the system, while the modems software is included as freeby and is not licensed software per se. These are tru facts, since the person responsible just walked in and read this... -- George Robbins uucp: {unirot|tapa}!grr P.O.
