Need modem prog for Altos 8000-2

Help!  I am trying to find a modem program for an old Altos 8000-2 
(CP/M, Z80 processor, 2 8" DD disks, 64K ram).  I would like the program
to support the Ward Christianson XMODEM protocol.  CROSSTALK does not
seem to support this protocol (at least when I tried, it wouldn't), and
neither does ASYNC.  I know that modem7 has been adapted for approximately
42 000 000 different machines so it seems reasonable that somebody will have
a version that works on an Altos 8000-2.  I foolishly purchased a modem
before finding that getting the software was the real problem...

I could probably, with a great deal of work, adapt some version of
modem7 to the Altos, but that is not practical for me in that the Altos
is my father's and he lives 700 miles from me.

Pointers to somebody with an Altos 8000-2 would be greatly appreciated.

				Thanks,
