For the most part, cu works fine, and on the Tandy version of Xenix cu works as well. BUT the redirect to a file name works only if you imbed the ~>filename in the file you want to download. It will not work if typed from the console. I use 'take' if I'm connected to another UNIX machine. As far as other bugs with the Xenix version, your system must be *very* quiet or in single user mode in order to download large files without dropping characters. No flow control is supported (or works). Rumor is that Tandy will be delivering the upgrade supporting X-ON/X-OFF in a newer version soon, but it was not delivered in the 1.3.2 upgrade.

() We at ncoast, and I personally at my company with a similar Model 16 have used cu successfully between these systems without errors with files as large as 100K. We have used uucp between the same systems for almost a megabyte of binary transfer at a time, all at 1200 baud. Most of the time, the system was lightly loaded ( uucp about 4am) but I have done cu transfer with 3 users on, 2 running heavy disk I/O and runcobol. Reply by mail if we can be of assistance. By the way, we have been using 1.3.2, but used 1.2.0 back then as I recall for some of these transfers.
