I am in need of being able to communicate with a Sperry 5000 computer with my Apple ][e enhanced computer. I must be able to emulate a VT100 terminal and I need to be able to download UNIX files to Prodos or DOS. Could someone recommend an inexpensive external modem and software? Also,could everyone send me other bulletin board points of contacts. Thanks in advance jim

You should be able to find one for <$150 in Computer Shopper.. For VT-100 there was a shareware program seen on this conf. a while back.. DCOM3.3 by Jim Hayes.. I don't have his email/net address handy.. His snail address was P.O. Box 221044, San Diego, CA 92122-1044.. I haven't tried the program so can't comment personally but read a good review from the NOVAPPLE newsletter.. Maybe Jim will see this and respond... -- |==========================================================================| | UUCP: {cbosgd, hplabs!hp-sdd, sdcsvax, nosc}!crash!danr | | ARPA: crash!danr@nosc.mil | | INET: danr@crash.cts.com Dan Rubesh | | | | Snail: P.O.
