Sorry for the garbage. The editor is weird today. My question is for a friend with a TI-99/4A. She wants to be able to log on remotely to the VAX here at school, and needs software and/or hardware that would allow Kermit transfers as well as VT-100/VT-200 codes at the LEAST. I'm not sure if the 4A has a Serial port, so I can't say whether she has or needs a modem, so please include any info about that as well. Please direct replies to above address (C_S245010114@conrad.appstate.edu I THINK) Thanks.

Well, up here I had to log on to our VAX system using my Geneve. I used
Telco and used VT52 emulation (set term/vt52 should be typed when on the
VAX). For transfers, we have XMODEM so why bother with Kermit. As for a
serial port. As long as she has a PE Box with an RS232 card or the
standalone RS232, she has a serial port. If she doesn't have a modem, tell
her to keep in mind when hooking one up that the cable has to be set in a
certain way. I have my cable using 3 wires: 2,3 and 7. Solder 2 to 3 and 3
to 2 and 7 to 7. Then you are ready to hook up the cable to the modem and
serial port and go ahead with telecommunications...
Hope I helped...
