[comp.sys.atari.8bit] Looking for R-Term device handler

dlh@psueclb.BITNET (07/09/87)

     Several years ago, I needed to interface a modem to my
Atari 8-bit. Rather than buying an 850 interface and saving myself
a tremendous amount of trouble, I instead got a device called
the R-Term serial interface. Essentially, it just plugs into the
Atari serial port and converts what is there up to RS-232 signal
levels (and back).
     The problem is that the manufacturer included only a very feeble
device handler for the R-Term that is similar but not identical to
the driver used with the 850. The result is that packages like VT-10^2
and other terminal emulators just don't work very well.
     Has anyone out there come across a device driver for the serial
port that is accessible to the standard terminal emulating programs?
