As we were painfully made aware when people tried
to run comm
programs and they didn't work because we used the Z8530 to get dual
serial ports.
Hyperion was not alone in having trouble with comm ports. Columbia
University (my alma mater) reported in January 1984 that unmodified Kermit
ran on Compaq and Columbia PCs, but Eagle and Seequa needed custom code.
I highly recommend the Kermit mailing list archives <
http://www.columbia.edu/kermit/ftp/e/info-kermit.txt>gt;; it contains
massive amounts of information for anyone interested in classic computers.
