I've been using Chameleon with my 800 and an atari 835 modem, but now I'd like to switch to the new Kermit-65 that was just posted. I don't think this will work because the driver for the 835 doesn't get loaded when the system boots, a program has to cause it to be loaded (ie, it does NOT behave like an 850.) So, what I'd like to know is, does anyone have a driver loader for the 835 that I can 'prepend' to Kermit-65 to use it with the 835 modem? An even better question is: what the best alternative to getting a real 850 (they're what, $130 now? way too much) ? I'm not in love with the 835 and I'll switch at the first hint of a cheaper serial interface (no printer interface required, there's one in my disk drive ; anyone remember Trak drives? ) Anyone want to buy a lightly used, slightly useless (I mean we're talking 300 baud!) 835 modem. Comes complete with Telelink II cartridge. Works with version ?? (I forgot) of chameleon. -- Franco Barber AT&T Bell Laboratories, Columbus, Ohio ..!cbosgd!cblpf!cblpe!feb (614) 860-7803

Same here! Version 4.03 to be exact.

I've tried. Kermit-65 won't work with the 835 modem. I downloaded the
'bare' version of Kermit-65 and prepended the 835's "T" handler onto it
with DOS (copy using the /a option). NO GO! It's too bad...it looks
like a well written program. It loaded ok; I even managed to browse
around and play with some of the functions (80 column screen, status,
set, etc.). It didn't like it too much when I tried "connect."
Oh well, someday I'll break down and invest in some kind of RS232 hardware
and a REAL (I can't even set word size or parity) modem.
