Ommm, Confmail, Msged, and DECCOMM should do it for you. You won't need
Code  Blue to run any of them.

Thanks Frank, will any of the fossils for the Rainbow work when I'm
using Code Blue or the IBM character rom that I'm using?

The fossils essentially obviate the need for Code Blue. The so-called
video  fossil, for example, is actually a terminal emulator,
giving you the Alt key  and other IBM facilities. I don't know
how well it would work with the IBM  character rom; probably
not too well, in the sense that you would not see the  IBM line
draw characters correctly.

The DF-03 is really pretty simple.  Leave all the front panel switches 
'out' except or the HS and the TA which you'll use depending on how 
you are operating the modem.  HS means hi-speed, ie: 1200 baud.  With
the talk switch 'in', you can dial the number using a phone
plugged in to the back of the modem.  WHen you hear carrier, you
pop out the TALK/DATA switch and you connect. If your DF-03 has
a dialer, (not all of them do) there are only 2 commands. 
CTL-B, followed by a number will dial that number. (pulse only
- - this thing is ancient)
CTL-B followed by CLT-C will redial the last number.

If I send you a couple of formatted disks and return postage, could you
make me a copy of the fossils that I need for the Rainbow?

Thanks in advance, Nolan.
