Hi Jorge!

Very special to hear from you.

I am replying via the ADAM broadcast address. When I tried to
send a reply to your message to: uy38700@pai.antel.com.uy
I got a notice from the Internet saying "relaying denied". 
Hope you get this one ok.

QTERM is a telecommunications program that will run on the ADAM.
It runs under CP/M. 

I don't know if you know it, but ADAM will run CP/M. You load it
from disk. There is also an operating system called TDOS which is
compatible with CP/M but written for the ADAM.
QTERM is the only communications program for ADAM that will do
VT100 terminal emulation for ADAM on the Internet. It's not 
perfect, but it's better than nothing. ADAM'S regular (default) 
terminal is HEATH or HEATH/Zenith. Unfortunately, that does not 
work too well with Lynx.

So.... I guess I need to know a little more about your knowledge
of computers before we go too much further. Do you know about 
CP/M?  Do you know how to use it? Do you have CP/M for the ADAM?

Let me know. If you don't have these programs, I can make sure
you get them. 

I think you should introduce yourself on the ADAM List. ADAM
owners will be very happy to know that there is someone in 
another country using the ADAM. They'll be more than helpful 
with anything you want to know about the ADAM. If you want to 
reply to me, you can use either the ADAM list or my own 
Internet address:  ronaldm@mars.ark.com

Going on the Internet with ADAM is not easy, but it can be done,
even with a 300 baud modem. There are still some ADAM owners using
that speed. ADAM will also operate at 1200 or 2400 baud using a 
serial interface and an external modem.  It sounds like you have 
a good system there. A disk drive is very good to have. 

Let me know what you have for software. We see that you get what
you need.

Keep in touch.

From Jorge:

Ron. I`m mailing you from Uruguay (South America) with my Adam
unit+2; DDP+1; DD+1; Printer; and Modem 300 BPS.

(I`m tired to say this, but here it goes: sorry me about my bad
english). In the Adam Mail List I see your QTERM article (I don't
know what QTERM is) I have a lot of problems when go to Internet
(to a UNIX) and it ask me "Terminal Type?" Responding VT100, 
Another questions for another mail.

Do you prefer I mail you to the Adam List?

Editor's note:

Here is a truly dedicated ADAM user with enough enthusiasm to
try the Internet, and he is from WAY down south.  These are the
type of contacts we can get when we extend a hand to the world
in general and the ADAM world specifically.  If you want a truly
international pen pal, I think Jorge just just make the grade.
