Hi, everyone! I've just recently got access to this newsgroup, and enjoy it a lot. I have an odd cp/m machine, called Actrix DS, that I use for word processing. The thing is a luggable (~30 lbs), has a built-in epson mx printer, modem, vdt and 2 5 1/4 ds floppies. It is extremely robust and reliable. During 89 quake it fell of the desk and landed on it's "head", and still kept on working. I have only one problem with it: it does not have a decent vt100 emulator. I've tried qterm and imp, but both of these programs use an exter- nal modem through a non-interrupt driven serial port, which means that it looses characters at 1200 baud. I've heard that there was a version of kermit for that thing that used the internal 1200 baud modem, which is interrupt driven. Anyone got any hints? I really love that ancient thing, and it bogs me that I have to get on one of those new computers (pc) whenever I need to call a remote site that uses vt100 emulation. If anyone knows what I am talking about, please let me know. I've talked to the service dept while they were still in business (about a year ago), and they told me they had the source, but lost it ;-(. Dmitry
