    There is no "Avatex" overlay for IMP.  Any overlay must be MACHINE-
specific, not modem specific.  The Avatex will work fine with IMP's dialing
routine.

     Your only problem is/will be the return codes from the modem.  IMP will
try to initialize the Avatex for numeric response codes... and there aren't
any.

     Find a copy of I2VB-2.ASM.  This is a overlay that will adapt IMP to use
either verbose ( the words like "NO CARRIER" ), and the numeric codes.  Edit
it to match what you need, and assemble.  Add it *after* your machine overlay.

     This is a overlay for some machine, not the Avatex.

     This is a CRUNCHed file.  Find a copy of CRUNCH23.LBR on a local RCP/M.
In it is a program called UNCR.COM.  Its use should be obvious.

     You should be able to get the same program for UN*X from SIMTEL20.  I
don't know the filename.
