Going the other way is a little more work, to wit: 1. Find out what slot your MM-II is in (you put it there, so you should remember). 2. Look up on pages 2-4 and 2-5 of your manual and find out the "device name" of the slot your MM-II is in. In my case, it is in slot 2 because my BIT3 board is in 3, and therefore is called the PUN. 3. Make sure you have a copy of PIP either on your Modem boot diskette or your file diskette. I find it a good practice to put a copy of PIP on every boot diskette I make. 4. Use Modem to log into your favorite big dinosaur. 5. Place said dinosaur's text editor into text input mode 6. Hit ctl-e, which will kick you out of Modem and into CP/M. 7. Do a PIP with the "device name" of your MM-II as the destination. In my case this is PIP PUN:=B:FOO or some such. Wait for the prompt. 8. When you get a CP/M prompt, do MODEM T to put yourself back in terminal mode. Then perform whatever saurian incantations are neccessary to make the input buffer a file. Earl
