I have found your e-mail address in some documentation for Apple
Kermit, and I would like to ask some questions.

At present I have an old 1200-baud modem (Era-2, by Microcom)
which I cannot get to run Kermit or anything except the
proprietary software that came with it.  I want to replace it
with a 2400-baud modem; my problem is that I want to be sure
that it will run Kermit with my Apple 2E.

Can you tell me whether Kermit is fussy about modems, so that
I will know whether or not I have a real worry here?  I have
been unable to find anyone that is actually using Kermit with
a 2E.  It would be even better if you could tell me any modems
that you know work; I have been considering buying an
Epic 2400 Classic II or a Prometheus Promodem 2400A.

One more thing: an article in the May 1989 issue of A-Plus says that
a commercial software program called ProTERM includes a
Kermit protocol.  Do you know anything about this?

I will appreciate very much any information that you can
give me.
                             Sincerely yours,
                             Bill Reynolds
