I am posting this for a friend. She has an old TRS-80-4P (so she says) and wants to be able to log on to the VAX cluster here at school from her room. I have no idea whether the TRS-80 has any serial ports or other communications ports, so info in that area would also be appreciated. In addition, she will need software capable of (at LEAST) Kermit file transfers as well as VT-100 or VT-200 emulation. Any information regarding this dilemma would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Scott C_S245010114@conrad.appstate,edu or Rachel C_S245010105@conrad.appstate.edu

I have several RS 300 baud modems for the 4p. These are internal modems. I think it has some primitive comm. program internally, but I'm not sure. Anyway, for $15 I'll send you one, unused. (needless to say I got these at RS TENT sale a few years ago for very little). Clarence Wilkerson

I've got a KERMIT for a 4p that I got from somewhere else. I've also written a VT100 emulator in Z80 machine code that uses TRSDOS/LSDOS supervisor calls for screen control. You should be able to get KERMIT more locally. If you need a copy of the VT100 emulator, send me mail. I can only really mail it back as source code, so you'd need an assembler. As for a VT200 emulator, there is little point. There are insufficient keys on a 4p to even emulate a VT100, let alone a VT200. The only other significant difference is that the VT200 accepts single character escape sequence introducers in eight bit mode. James Cameron (Sydney, Australia)

Why not get Kermit? it is available for the TRS-80 4 series. -- ====================================================================== === Harold Tomlinson === == Computing and Communications Services == = YORK UNIVERSITY = = haroldt@paralandra.yorku.ca = = 416- 736-5257-33802 = ======================================================================
