	Would anyone care to comment on the difficulties associated with this
"job?"  
	I've heard that programming the serial port of the Rainbow is different 
from programming the serial port on the IBM PC.  Is this the main part of 
KA9Q which would have to be changed?  Would comparing the Kermit source code 
for the Rainbow and the PC be of any use in sorting out this particular port?

p.s.  On the subject of ethernet stuff, just for kicks, I loaded the TSR 
packet driver wd8003e.com (for the IBM PC using a Western Digital ethernet 
card) onto my Rainbow and executed it.  It came back with a message about
how there probably wasn't an ethernet card at the i/o port I specified,  :)
but it did appear to exit in an otherwise graceful manner.
