Hyperion was not alone in having trouble with comm ports. Columbia University (my alma mater) reported in January 1984 that unmodified Kermit ran on Compaq and Columbia PCs, but Eagle and Seequa needed custom code. I highly recommend the Kermit mailing list archives <http://www.columbia.edu/kermit/ftp/e/info-kermit.txt>; it contains massive amounts of information for anyone interested in classic computers. -- geo:37.783333,-122.416667
