   I have an Atari 400 and an old Hayes Smartmodem 300 that I want
   to put on speaking terms. A friend once showed me a little box
   that plugged into a joystick port to turn it into a serial port.
   Can anybody help me find out where to get such a device or else
   a schematic for it? I don't think building one would be a problem
   as long as components can be had.  Also, what kind of software
   driver would be necessary to make something like kermit work
   with a smartmodem and this type of interface?
   (I would rather not spend the $$ for an 850 since I just need a
   modem port, not a printer or anything)
