Thanks, Dave!  I was given this IIe yesterday and it seems to work
just fine.  I do not yet know the speed of this modem (is it noted
on the modem card somewhere?).  Kermit seems to behave normally
except it doesn't seem to recognize the modem, i.e. I start Kermit,
type connect, but then typing atdt.... does not show.  Do you need 
to indicate the slot somehow (it's now in slot 4)?  Thanks again
for your help.
