Subject: kermit for Actrix cp/m machine

Hi, everyone!
I've just recently got access to this newsgroup, and enjoy it a lot.  I have
an odd cp/m machine, called Actrix DS, that I use for word processing.  The
thing is a luggable (~30 lbs), has a built-in epson mx printer, modem, vdt
and 2 5 1/4 ds floppies.  It is extremely robust and reliable.  During 89
quake it fell of the desk and landed on it's "head", and still kept on 
working.  I have only one problem with it: it does not have a decent vt100
emulator.  I've tried qterm and imp, but both of these programs use an exter-
nal modem through a non-interrupt driven serial port, which means that it
looses characters at 1200 baud.  I've heard that there was a version of
kermit for that thing that used the internal 1200 baud modem, which is 
interrupt driven.  Anyone got any hints?  I really love that ancient thing,
and it bogs me that I have to get on one of those new computers (pc) whenever
I need to call a remote site that uses vt100 emulation.  If anyone knows 
what I am talking about, please let me know.  I've talked to the service
dept while they were still in business (about a year ago), and they told me
they had the source, but lost it ;-(.
