I've been using Chameleon with my 800 and an atari 835 modem, but now
I'd like to switch to the new Kermit-65 that was just posted. I don't
think this will work because the driver for the 835 doesn't get loaded
when the system boots, a program has to cause it to be loaded (ie, it
does NOT behave like an 850.)

So, what I'd like to know is, does anyone have a driver loader for the
835 that I can 'prepend' to Kermit-65 to use it with the 835 modem?

An even better question is: what the best alternative to getting a real
850 (they're what, $130 now? way too much) ?

I'm not in love with the 835 and I'll switch at the first hint of a
cheaper serial interface (no printer interface required, there's one in
my disk drive ; anyone remember Trak drives? )

Anyone want to buy a lightly used, slightly useless (I mean we're talking
300 baud!) 835 modem. Comes complete with Telelink II cartridge. Works
with version ?? (I forgot) of chameleon.
