| Why do you need sources to kermit? Just run kermit on the Pro?!?

| Ahhh! Pardon my terminology.... KERMIT for the pro is what I am looking
for, be it sources, runnable task, whatever...
Since I entered this note, I found the "sources" for kermit for the pro.
They indeed ARE that, sources (sigh). I am begining the transfer to
my system (pro) in a while in preparation for the build...
Anyone have the latest PRO KERMIT already built you could point me to?
Thanks,
John

Well, thanks to this file (and KERMIT,CTNOTES,etc....) FUNKY-NET is up
and running. At home, I have my PRO, C128, and Amiga all tied together
and transferring files to my poor Amiga at 19.2k. Works GREAT!!!!
I'm running KERMIT on the PRO and the C64 and I run Diga! on the
Amiga. Super program...
I just got my Amiga a couple of weeks ago and have only bought a couple
of programs. All the rest has been either PD or Shareware. By the way,
almost everyone I sent the small pittance to has responded with a note
saying thanks, along with updates to the program.
I expected to spend quite a few weeks gathering software, trying out
different things, and settling on an environment I would be comfortable
in. This file has made it all quite easy!
So far, The outstanding programs I am using are:
Uedit
BlitzFonts
DUIV
Diga!
Lattice C
PopCLI
LA50 Driver
Configuration:
Amiga 500 w/ 1 meg and Real time clock
VR241 (from my Pro)
Okimate 20
Hayes Modem
LA50
1 External 3 1/2" disk
Next on the list...
Was talking to Moe at the Software Shop and it looks like an add-on boar
of 1 1/2 meg is coming out in a week or so. This will bring the A500
up to 2 1/2 meg INTERNAL. At that point, I could load my Workbench disk
all to RAM: and be able to still function.
What a machine.....
By the way, I built the video cables from scratch. I ordered a bunch of 23 pin
male and female connectors and hoods. They should be in sometime this week.
If anyone is in dire need of one, let me know. I live in the central Mass
area. These suckers are hard to come by.
My next project is an add-on box for external floppy disks. Box would contain
an external power supply for all external disks (reduce drain on A500 P/S) as
well as house 2 disks.
At that time I'll be ready for an A500 Supra hard disk (if my wallet is....).

| Glad you're having fun... it's nice to see the add-on market for
the A500 develop so quickly. As 95% of the people in this conference
know, it took a loooooonnnggg time for hardware to appear for the
A1000.
As much as you'll be tickled by lots of RAM, the real transformation
comes with the installation of a hard disk.

| re .3
Since you didn't mention Shell2.07M I presume you don't know about
it. Try it -- especially 'til you get RAM, it's a godsend. Even
with RAM and a hard disk it is one of the most useful programs around.

| Where'd you get the 23-pin connectors from? I'd never heard of them
until I looked at the back of a 500.

The 23 pin is probably an ISO (europe) standard. All I know is I couldn't
find them comercially anywhere.
I ordered 10 DB23P and 10 DB23S connectors with hoods from
BCD
Jim Black
PO Box 1224
Bartlesville, Ok.
I called him and had the connectors sent out UPS. They arrived the next day.
Connectors were $2 and the hoods are $1.75. They came individually packaged
and in excellent shape (not "surplus").
Some of the other things he handles are:
Cltd TIMESAVER 65.00
Cltd Hard Disk Controller 229.00
AB Switches for A100 ser port 30.00
" " " " par " 35.00
ABC " " " ser " 35.00
" " " " par " 45.00
ABCD " " " ser " 45.00
" " " " par " 55.00
Note: All 25 pins are wired in both the ser and par switches
Sony KV1311 cables 18.00
par/ser interconnect cables 10-13.00
DF2/3 EXTERNAL POWER SUPPLIES 59.00
will handle two drives. Just
plug and go.
He also has other special use items. I'll post the phone number here if
you want it.
