From   : JDB8042@SUMMA.TAMU.EDU (John D. Baker->An Apple ZCPR3 nut//)
Subject: ZMP 1.5 on Apple //e with Applicard and SSC

Has anyone ever installed ZMP on an Apple //e using a PCPI Applicard and
Super Serial Card (or AE SerialPro)?

Better yet, is there a ready-made overlay for it?

I have been trying to write my own overlay.  Actually, I lifted most of the
modem in-out-status routines directly from the QTERM patch for the Apple.
By the suggestion in the doc, I put the 'ret' in the init routine so I can
ignore it while I get the main routines working.

When I run it, ZMP puts up its title scree (proving that the gotoxy works) and
then hangs up.  Actually, it seems to jump back to the CCP (ZCPR3) without
properly resetting the screen output.  The result is, that I type characters
and they get built up in the command line buffer, but nothing happens until
I reset the Apple (performs a somewhat stronger warm boot).  Then all the
pending characters are displayed as if they had been typed at the system
prompt (with returns and such which tries to invoke non-existant programs and
the like).

It doesn't appear to even get as far as loading any of its overlays.

Can anyone help and shed light on this problem?

Thanks.

PS.  ZMP appears to send/receive a char to my serial port (SerialPro) as 
evidenced by the RD and SD lights on my modem.  It also appears to flash the
switchhook as evidenced by a click from the modem's speaker.  I got all the
routines installed except the ones to set the parameters of the serial port.
