Sorry, I deleted a bit too much of you message.

I also have been using the 2.0 Version of Kermit and really like it.
I cannnot seem to find the way to do any auto-dialing with Kermit.

I load a program I wrote myself and login to the system and as soon as
the login is sucessful, I cycle the power on the C-64 and boot Kermit.
It works OK, I guess.  I am going to try to relocate Kermit somewhere else
in memory and add my auto-dial routines to the boot program.

Is there an easier way of doing this?

Also, Why does my unix vax say that the Termcap for vt100 not have a sysline 
ability?  Can Someone send me their .login that works with the normal sysline?

I enjoy seeing a little more traffic on this newsgroup.... Let's keep it
going!

OBTW, I am using a Hayes Smartmodem 1200 with an Aprotek interface on my 64.
Not a 1660 or 1670......
