We have several ibmpc's connected to ETHERNET LAN with the communication program 'yterm'. I can connect the ibmpc to the vax (running UNIX 4.2) using yterm. Therefore , the ibmpc serve as a terminal for the vax. Now , I escape the yterm program to DOS and invoke MSKERMIT and then type 'connect'. I get back to the unix shell. CKERMIT is then invoked. Then type 'send filename <CR>'; escape (^]C) back to MSKERMIT ; type 'receive <CR>'. However, there is no packet coming in. The screen just display 'transfer in progress......' message forever! (1) Am I totally wrong ? The kermit doesn't work on LAN ??? (only on tel line ? ) (2) Or I forgot to set some parameters ??? Can someone mail me sample session if same attempt has been done? Thanks in advance. HP Wei
