I've tried. Kermit-65 won't work with the 835 modem.  I downloaded the
'bare' version of Kermit-65 and prepended the 835's "T" handler onto it
with DOS (copy using the /a option).  NO GO!  It's too bad...it looks
like a well written program.  It loaded ok; I even managed to browse
around and play with some of the functions (80 column screen, status,
set, etc.).  It didn't like it too much when I tried "connect."

Oh well, someday I'll break down and invest in some kind of RS232 hardware
and a REAL (I can't even set word size or parity) modem.
