William,

I do not have kermit for the Alspa, but I do have MDM740, which I use
extensively on my ACI-2DS.  It handles MODEM7/XMODEM protocol, and supposedly
batch mode (which I've never seen work, but I don't know if it's MDM740 or
the unix xmodem I'm using...). Let me know if you would like this - it is
at least *a* file transfer protocol...

BTW, who ported CP/M 3.0 to the system? That was never done while I worked
there, and after I left the company sank all its efforts (and everything
else) into the ACI-Zero! (Or is that the BIOS revision number? If the latter,
you might be interested in v3.6 - I've done numerous improvements to it in the
past few years, including ZCPR3 and P2DOS compatibility..)
