[comp.sys.apple] Kermit on ][+ w/AppleCat

jtaylor@ms.uky.edu (Jeff Taylor) (01/14/88)

Has anyone seen a version of Kermit that will work on a ][+ with an AppleCat
1200 ?? Preferably under PRODOS but a dos3.3 version would be functional.

Thanks

If anyone (this includes *you*, Ted!) can give me specifications for a modem
driver for Kermit, I will write one.  I have all the sources to the Cat
drivers for DCOM in a nice bundle, ready to be adapted to other things. . .

Basically, I need to know:

A) Where it goes and how long it can be

B) What are it's responsibilities.

C) If and how interrupts are handled. . .

	I should point out that my Cat drivers do use interrupts for dialing
the phone.  This *might* be a problem, but I think not really. But if I go
to ProDOS, with it's rather large overhead for interrupts, and it's
interrupt vector stuff, it can be a bit of a headache. For now I grab the
vector at $3F? and put my own there, and call it if the interrupt was not my
own.  Viola, my own interrupt series, and I don't have to walk through a
list of vectors asking if it's "theirs" like ProDOS does.  

D) anything else one needs to know about it.
