Hi folks!!

I've only recently subscribed to this newsgroup and haven't seen
anything regarding my questions in the past few hundred messages.

I want to take my Apple ][+ out of storage and let my girlfriend use
it as a terminal to a Unix machine.  The conceptual setup is to run
Kermit on the ][+ and connect to the Unix host via 2400 baud modem.

I've forgotten almost everything about the ][+ but still have the
manuals in a desk 1500 miles away, so my questions may be a little
fundamental.

Questions:
1.  Can a generic Hayes compatible modem be used with the serial port?
    If so, how?
    If not, what is needed?

2.  Is Kermit for the Apple ][+ available?
    Where?  ...anonymous ftp?
    If not, what other terminal programs can be found/purchased?

3.  How would one transfer downloaded ][+ programs from a PC
    compatible to an Apple floppy?

I don't want to spend a lot of money on this because she would rather
buy a PC compatible, which she can use for other things, if the
expense is over $200.

Thanks in advance.
