[net.micro.pc] file transfer without kermit

peshkin@cmu-ri-fas.ARPA (Michael Peshkin) (12/21/84)

I am trying to transfer files over a 1200 baud modem between the PC
and a CDC 7600. Unfortunately the CDC doesn't have KERMIT.  Any
suggestions?  One thing that might work is a program that accepts
stuff coming from the asynchronous port and puts it in a file, and
another that sends a file out through the port.  This wouldn't be
as convenient as kermit, but would suffice.

I am peshkin@cmu-cs-a@csnet-relay, and peshkin@cmucsa on bitnet via WISCVM,
and peshkin@cmu-cs-a.arpa

Thanks for your help.

Try getting the CDC version of Kermit from Columia University (CU20B.ARPA).
It runs on NOS 1 and 2 and we have been using it for quite a while now.

    The newest version of Kermit (v2.27) for the IBM-PC and MS-DOS
has a "logging" option that allows the PC to record the session without
using the file transfer protocol, added for systems that don't yet have
Kermit.  It allows you to use the (excellent) terminal emulation that
Kermit provides.  If you can get it onto your display screen, you can
capture it (and monitor for noise bursts as it comes in).

The CDC HAS kermit! Write to the guys at Columbia Univers. For
correct address see fa.info-kermit

If !kermit then
	I wrote a bunch of (unix) software in the past
	for a punchroom with 6 typists. 
	I did not use any protocol I wrote
	a simple program that would logon to the cyber
	and send it twice and compare the result
	Just parse the result from the cyber.

	COMMAND- good compare		@ it is okay
	COMMAND- bad compare		@ try all over again

	people were quite happy with it and their production was
	quite a lot of data per day.
