2865.0. "Beginner's questions on modeming" by HKFINN::FU () Thu Aug 24 1989 18:23

I am a newcomer to the Amiga world.  I recently bought an Amiga 500 with one
meg memory and an external drive.  I would like to use my Amiga as a
VT terminal to hook into my VAX account from home.  I can get a modem from
work (DF3, Scholar, or whatever we are issuing now).  My questions are:

   1. Do I need any other hardware?

   2. What software do I need?  Would someone be willing to copy this
      software for me if I send them a disk?   

Any help would be greatly appreciated, and the less technically involved the
better!  Many thanks.

Jack

	You shouldn't need any other hardware. All you need is a program called VT200. Besides it's terminal emulation feature it includes X-modem, Kermit etc.. Great stuff. I've heard it's for deccies only(?) Vince PS Ed Acciardi has (had?) a starter kit that included the above and other goodies.

	Yup, send me e-mail and I'll arrange to get you a disk with a good terminal emulator and the ARC and ZOO utilities needed to get going. Ed Acciardi NKS1-1/E3

	RE: .3 Ed, many thanks. I'll send a blank disk to you at NKS1-1/E3. Jack PS: Do you prefer any particular color? I recently bought a lot of Fuji disks from Egghead during their "rainbow" sale. I can give you Electric Blue, Repulsive Pink, and other wild colors, or something corporate and self-effacing, like off-white or VMS-doc-set-grey.

	I hate all floppies, regardless of color. Send me whichever you find the most offensive, and I'll forward ot to someone whom I dislike. :^) Ed.
