Wow! Hey!! That sounds cool. I'm using 3.87 Kermit65 with an Apple ][+.
Is Kermit 65 still the best free communications software for the ][+?
I wonder whether anyone knows if there are any others that provide
extras like a login script or redial? Those are the two things I would
most like to have... Or is there simply not enough RAM for that? Is
that what you meant by that 'using every last byte' part?

Any advice appreciated, or if you want me to try out your patch on
my menagerie, let me know!!!
