: It could be that Kermit 'expects' the modem to be in slot 2.
: On Apple II's in general certain slots do certain things.
: Although any card usually will work in any slot (except slot 3 and the

The Micromodem is not Hayes AT command set compatible, it predates that
standard. It uses its own oddball commands instead. If you feel masochistic
enough to want to make use of a 300 bps modem, get Proterm version 2 from
someone to use with it. Not version 3 since Micromodem support was taken
out in 3.0. Proterm does kermit if you need it, if I'm remembering right.
Been a good long time since I last used something other than FTP to down-
load files.
