I have a C64, 1541 drive and Zenith monitor. I would like to use
this as a terminal (connecting to a Unix system). Recent discussion
indicates that Kermit is probably the software I want.
Here's the question:
Do I need a hardware/software upgrade of some sort, and what modems
do you suggest?
Getting hold of Kermit is not a problem, but is there a better terminal
emmulation package available. What baud rate does it support?
e-mail responses unless you get lots of these dumb requests and want
to forestall future questions.
Thanks for the help.

I believe a wise choice would be a hayes compatible modem with maybe 2400 baud. (I prefer MultiTech Modems myself). >Getting hold of Kermit is not a problem, but is there a better terminal >emmulation package available. What baud rate does it support? I believe Kermit only supports up to 2400 baud because that is all the Commodore 8 Bit machines are "supposed" to be able to handle correctly. >e-mail responses unless you get lots of these dumb requests and want >to forestall future questions. I had tried mailing you but one of my mail feeds bounced it, so I decided to post it. -Jo ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |Joseph E Poplawski (Jo) US Mail: 1621 Jackson Street | | Cinnaminson NJ 08077 | |UUCP:..!rutgers!rochester!moscom!telesci!fantasci!jep | | ..!princeton!telesci!fantasci!jep Phone: +1 609 786-8099 home | | ..!pyrnj!telesci!fantasci!jep | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | Life is too short to dance with ugly women! | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
