        I have to disagree with you, Mike. Just to be ornery, I
switched my modem line over to port 1 on my IIc (v3) a couple of hours
ago, and have been happily BITNETing away since, using Kermit 3.85.  I
also tested Zlink 89/1, but, as the author cheerfully admits, it has a
bug that currently doesn't allow port 1 use.

Either serial port on a /c can be configured for any RS-232c configuration, 
I believe. The necessary software normally comes with a //c.\
