I am trying to use an 800XL as a terminal using the APX program
"Chameleon" and an R: handler from AID ("R-verter") to communicate
through a Rixon 212 modem.  The software commmunicates perfectly with
the Rixon, dials the Unix system I work on, but when I establish
contact with the remote system I no longer get CR with LF and the
screen switches back and forth between normal and reverse video.
In addition, all control characters print rather than execute.

Does anyone have experience with the "chameleon" terminal emulation
package?  Do I have to buy an Atari 850 interface to make it work.
(Will it work if I get one).

Does anyone have an alternative terminal emulation package for this
combination?

Thanks
