|Karen, if you have a modem program like CROSSTALK, QMODEM, PROCOMM,
|MEX-PC, GT, ZCOMM, etc. (anything that will do the "Xmodem" protocol),
|running on your MSDOS machine you can use any version of MODEM7, IMP,
|or MEX on the CP/M machine to transfer files through the RS232 line.
|You didn't say what kind of CP/M machine you have.  As you may know,
|there are considerable differences in the hardware used on various
|types of CP/M machines.  One would have to know the port addresses and
|status bits to configure either Kermit or MODEM7 for the CP/M machine.

The CP/M Kermit from Columbia U has a generic mode to use the IOBYTE
calls. This is slower, but for a one-shot effort, who cares.
Configuring CP/M-80 Kermit is not a problem. There are many types of
machines supported by the code and it was easy to find one close to my
box.

Karen, you can get CP/M Kermit by anonymous ftp to CU-20B as I did but
you would still have to get Kermit into your machine. I used XMODEM to
bootstrap.  I think the most hassle free way is to get an 8 in Kermit
diskette from some helpful soul.
