	I have an Apple II+ with a Viewmax-80 80-column board in slot 3, and
a Super Serial Card clone in slot 4. I have a version of Kermit to talk
over the SSC in communications mode to a Ven Tel 1200EC modem. I have the
following symptom: When I talk to the configuration program in rom in the
modem the first and thrid characters of its output are dropped as they
are when communicating over the phone line at 1200 baud to a local host.
	I asked an Apple dealer about this and he said that I had to send
more nulls to the modem to get the timing right. I can find no mode in the
SSC that controls number of nulls sent down the line. I have checked the dip
switch settings and they seem correct.
	Does anyone recognize the problem I'm having? Do I have to do
something to the SSC, the Modem, or Kermit to talk correctly to the modem?
Do I possibly have a modem that is incompatable with the SSC? Is my SSC bad?
	Another trait of the arrangement that I have is that the modem
hanges up before the computer PBX at work , a Micom switch, answers the phone.
The Micom lets the phone ring twice before answering, the modem times out
before the second ring.
	I would greatly appreciate any suggestions?
