I just bought a Supra 1200at and darned if the documentation is meagre!
What little there is claims that this is, in fact, an Avatex 1200. It only
came with a piece of software called Smart Terminal, which is neither. I
would really like to be able to edit files remotely, and am sort of willing
to write the emulator (though i'd rather not), but i have no clue as to how
to send the modem commands.  The modem came with a single serial -> rs232
converter (it's a serial cable, then a little box, then the rs232 cable).
I've tried making the RS232.COM file from Indus Dos 2.35i the AUTORUN.SYS
file on a disk, but the R: handler either isn't loading or isn't installing
itself. Does anyone have a real terminal program for the Supra 1200 (great!)
or at least know how to let me talk to my modem without using Smart Terminal?
I used to think i was a pretty competant (sp) programmer, but this 
tele-communications stuff leaves me baffled. Any ideas?

p.s., the modem commands run like ATDTphoneno and >A. Does this protocall
look familiar or have name?

p.p.s, Does anyone know the net address of Atari? I think an old friend of mine
works there. Mark Cerny, where are you, this is your past calling....
