I am looking for a preconfigured copy of Kermit.  I have Viasyn's CPM816
ver. R system on a COMPUPRO 8-16A. I am trying to get kermit ver 4 to work
but am failing badly.  It doesn't run if I bring up the generic config, so
I'm sifting through the mounds of non-associated garbage to find the generic
stuff to double check it to see if it does what I think it should do to the
IOByte as per my system.

My system is configured as below:

CPro  85/88  dual processor cpu
 "    IF4    Interfacer 4      CON: uc1  ; RDR: tty  ; PUN: tty  ; LST: ul1;
 "    SS1    System Support 1       crt  ;
 "           128k Static ram


Anyone out there have a working configuration, or can describe in detail
the innerworkings of Kermit regarding IOByte? 

I understand IOByte, but can't grasp why bits are set the way they are.
(eg. ttyio below)

[Excerpt from CP4SYS.ASM]

iobyte	EQU	03H	;Location of I/O byte

; the basics...
IF robin OR gener
batio	EQU	056H	;01010110B  CON=BAT,LIST=CRT,READER=RDR,PUNCH=PTP
defio	EQU	095H	;10010101B  CON=CRT,LIST=LPT,READER=RDR,PUNCH=PTP
ENDIF;robin OR gener

IF gener
crtio	equ	01010101B	; use CRT: device
ptrio	equ	01010110B	; use PTR: device
ttyio	equ	00000000B	; use TTY: device  (* why all set to 0's ? *)
uc1io	equ	01010111B	; use UC1: device
ur1io	equ	01101010B	; use UR1: device
ur2io	equ	01111110B	; use UR2: device
ENDIF;gener
;

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
