I got email saying that plug-in 2400 baud modems exist for the 64, with
no interface necessary.  Will Kermit 2.2 run harmoniously with one of
these?  And has anyone tried Kermit 2.2 at 2400 baud?  Finally, can
someone direct me to a place for ordering a 2400 plug-in?

Thanks for your responses (both email and newsgrp),
