I hope someone can help me. My girlfriend just bought a C64 (used) and with it she received a 300 baud (Ughh!!) modem. She was able to dial in and such, but can't run any programs which require a terminal type. My guess is that she needs kermit. I don't know much about kermit. How/where would I get it, and how do you use it. Also, if it matters, she is using a small black -n- white tv as a terminal. Thanks for any help!!! .signature ????? John J.

The following info. was given to me by Ray quite a while back: The executable (and also the docs.) can be obtained by doing FTP to log on the machine MAXWELL.PHYSICS.PURDUE.EDU as ANONYMOUS and go the dir pub/c64kermit. Happy KERMITING !!! Patrick [end of posting] 80-column output from Kermit is readable on my monochrome monitor. I doubt that it would be readable on a TV set, but I haven't tried it.

I doubt >that it would be readable on a TV set, but I haven't tried it. I found that it differs from Tv-set to TV-set. I am using right now kermit with a 13" (or maybe 12") TV set, B&w... I can see the text pretty well, use Emacs and all that stuff... Maybe my TV-set is out-of-the-ordinary. It is not a big name brand, it is a Portland. (I use a light-grey screen and black text). By the way, how good is the Tek emulation in kermit 2.2? Would it be compatible to the unix "plot" command?
