Re:   Rainbow to anything else File-transfer

We currently have KERMIT running for RAINBOW - and could have MODEM
running aside from my laziness - what I don't need - I don't spend
time with.  The "recipe" is easy: Use the I/O byte to get to RDR/PNCH
from the Z80 and use "straight" BIOS-calls (which MODEM does anyhow).
Our "generic" KERMIT runs on DEC's VT180 and on DEC's RAINBOW with NO
changes (and with a two-line change in the I/O byte assignment on
DEC's DECMATE II with the CP/M option).  Yes, one looses some "speed"
on RAINBOW being on the "wrong" side for character-transfer ==>
terminal emulation works clean up to 1800 baud.  Protocol transfers
run nicely up to 4800 Baud.
