Help!! We are trying to find a way to move files from an ERG
computer running CP/M 68K, to our UN*X system (4.2BSD). I figure the
easiest way is to get a modem program that runs under CP/M 68K, but I
haven't yet been able to find one. Can anyone tell me where I can get
such a program? It can be either commercial or public domain; our primary
concern is that we need it soon!
We have the DRI and Whitesmith's 'C' compilers, so either an
object code version or C source would be of help.
XMODEM-type protocol would be desirable, but is not absolutely
necessary. High baud rate would also be a plus, but anything that can
manage at least 1200 baud is acceptable. We don't even absolutely need
terminal-type operation, just the ability to transfer files. If anyone
out there has such a program, or knows where to get it, I will be eternally
grateful if you'd get in touch with me soonest.

I haven't been able to send individual responses to all the many
people who answered my request for help in finding a modem program for
a CP/M-68K system, so I'd like to say "thanks" to all of you here; I
was most gratified at the number of helpful responses I received.
The most common recommendation was for YAM, for which there is
source code (in C) on SIMTEL20. Also recommended were KERMIT, and Lmodem,
a short C program which was published in Byte.
None of these, of course, are specifically for CP/M-68K systems,
though they could be adapted. Fortunately, a couple of people who responded
had versions of either Xmodem or KERMIT that had been adapted for CP/M-68K,
and I'm hoping to receive this code shortly.
By the way, we solved our immediate problem (files on the ERG
that needed to be sent to UN*X *quickly*) by hooking an Apple II to the
ERG as a terminal, capturing the files on Apple disks, and then hooking
up the Apple as a UN*X terminal and porting the files once more. A kluge,
but a successful one. With luck, we'll have a better system ready for
the next batch of files.
Thanks again to all who responded to my request for help.
