Mabe I don't get the inside joke, but ZTerm is shareware and, in the day,
was worth the price. Termy, among others, is free, though, as is Kermit. On
the subject of ZTerm and the error report, can a second Mac running ZTerm,
listening on the serial port (IWII cable connecting both machines) serve to
capture the output? Has anyone tried this? If so, any obstacles or tips?

Isn't it off by default in Penguin's default settings?

Happy to report my Q800 boots to the winged mammal; I'm anxiously awaiting
a CD, to complete the installation.
