|  |     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.

    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.
