Paul--two things.  First, I think you're looking either for MODEM7 or
MEX.  The latest version of the former is (in at least one line of
descent) is MDM740, and the latest version of the latter is MEX114.
Second, unless the Commodore 128's modem port has been set up exactly
the same as the Osborne's (which is unlikely) , an Osborne version of
MODEM7 or MEX won't work on the C-128.  I don't know if C-128 overlays
(overlays are pieces of machine code which customize a program to a
specific computer) exists for MODEM7 or MEX.  If you have ARPANET
access, MODEM7 and MEX can be gotten by anonymous FTP to
SIMTEL20.ARPA.  If not, try getting in touch with:

               SIG/M
               P.O. Box 97
               Iselin NJ 08830-0097.

Good luck, and mail me if you need any help.  -- Bill Edwards
