Has anyone out there had experience linking the 860 Xerox wordprocessor with
PCs?  The 860 is CP/M-based, with 8" disks.  We would like to, at the
minimum, transfer files back and forth, but being able to spool files to other
printers would be dandy as well.

I'm requesting this for a friend -- I know next to nothing about the 860s, and
Xerox hasn't been real helpful to her yet, so I'm hoping that someone has
already figured this one out.  I have experience with MSDOS Kermit, and
wondered whether Kermit would do.  There is a version for the Xerox 820, but I
don't know whether it'll work.

I'm sending this to info-cpm as well, but if anyone has suggestions about
where else to look, I'd love to hear.

Thanks --
