Subject: Kermit and CP/M-80 computers

What you will need is:
  MLOAD (if you don't already have it)
  The HEX file for base kermit-80
  An overlay file for your machine, or the 'generic' one.  The
latter uses the BIOS, is proportionately slow, and requires IOBYTE 
support.
  If "your machine" is not one for which an overlay has been 
specifically created, then you will probably need to poke through the 
sources of the existing files to find something similar and, if 
necessary, modify it.
   These files are available from SIMTEL by FTP (the last I checked) 
from KERMSRV@CUVMA (and a few other places) on BITNET, and so forth.  
You will need at least some minimal way of downloading a HEX file to 
your machine to get started--it can be done using PIP if you can get the 
files onto some slightly more equipped machine and run a wire between
the two.
