This is to announce MS-DOS Kermit 3.0 for the Hewlett Packard Portable (110) and Portable Plus laptop computers. There are a number of enhancements over the previous 2.32 version. An overview of key new features: (a) Tektronix 4010 emulation is supported. (b) The internal modem on the HP 110 is supported. Select the modem port ("SET PORT MODEM"), go to connect mode, and and then press "Extend char d" (Extended Char and d at the same time). You will then be asked for the number you want to dial. (c) Speed in connect mode is faster. Maximum speed without flow control is about 3000 baud for the 110 and 4800 baud for the Portable Plus. (d) The same program works on both the 110 and the Portable Plus. Files are: (a) msthpx.exe ---the executable (b) msvhpx.hlp ---documentation on Kermit 3.0 for the 110 and Plus (c) msvhpx.ann ---this announcement file Please let me know if you encounter any problems.
