We need help loading programs into the C-128 in CP/M mode.
(1) For Normal C-128 mode (BASIC 7.0) we have a nice VT110
    modem program that has a good transfer function (that
    uses xmodem on the other computer).  Programs and
    text files and data files can be downloaded.  However,
    the programs that transfer this data to CP/M mode don't
    work very well.  Large files cannot be transferred
    easily (modem transfer to a memory-block then switch
    to CP/M mode and write to disk).
(2) Quantum-Link is great for games and talking to people,
    but poor in getting technical help (at least for me
    and my son).  They could not supply us with a reliable
    program.
(3) We bought the early C-128 that didn't have the CP/M
    modem program on the disk.  In Spring 1986 we ordered
    the new disks (for $5).  When booted, the disk date
    is (was) the latest (Dec 85).  However, there were no
    modem programs.
(4) Quantum-Link could not supply us with a CP/M modem
    program either.
(5) All we have for CP/M is Turbo Pascal. Locally it is hard
    to get much of anything else.  My friends have many
    useful programs (editors, etc), but we have no method
    to get them into our machine.
(6) C-128 CP/M is nice to learn on (Turbo Pascal), but it
    seems fairly useless for any semi-real applications.
    The Normal C-128 (BASIC) mode is much more useful;
    many programs are available.
------------------------
Therefore, we are asking for any advice that we can get.
Many other people on this net have had good results with
Q-Link and Commodore for CP/M items, but we have had bad
luck.  Who should we contact to get some results?

Thank you.
