A friend at SUNY-Albany would like to use his 520ST as a terminal to work
off the school's UNIX cluster. I have been pleasantly surprised by the 
machine but don't know anything about it. 

1. What cable should be used to connect the 25-pin "modem" port
   to the external Hayes-compatible modem?
2. Is there shareware that can enable him to emulate a VT100
   and use Kermit protocol?
3. Where to find good shareware.

He has a double-sided 3.5 inch disk drive, which I assume is 720K.
A user in the Netherlands tells me that the machine could probably
read IBM formatted disks (since I will have to download it and
get it to him somehow).

All help appreciated.
