Could someone please tell me how I would connect a Hayes modem
to a C64? Also, can I use Kermit with the Hayes? If so could
you please send me a copy of the 80 column Kermit.
Thanks

You can buy those in any C64 retail store or through mail order. It cost around $25 to $30 dollars. TENEX and COMPUTER DIRECT are some of the mail order companies that sells such interface, so give them a call. As for the Kermit, yes it can be used with Hayes modem. For ways in obtaining a copy of this terminal program, read recent postm of this newsgroup. There were a number of post describing how to get the program. If you have FTP capability you can get it directly from one of the authors, or you could mail order it from them. One question.....If you get the program electronically to the directory of your account, how will you manage to put the program on a C64 formatted diskette? (...just curious...) :) Well, I hope I was of some help. Scott K. Stephen

Scott K. Stephen If you don't want to spend $25-$30 for a rs-adapter, you can easily do it with parts worth of few $.. Couple of transistors , resistors and diodes will do it. And if you don't want to sweat with transistors you can use inverters.. (74ls06)... just a couple of hours work, and it will work with almost any rs-interfaced machine.. (it's a bit dirty using 0V,5V instead of +-9V, but it does work!) -- ////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// // Pasi Ojala An expert knows more and more about less and less, // // po87553@tut.fi until he knows absolutely everything about nothing. // //////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
