Does there exist a terminal program (such as MDM712) which runs on a Heathkit H89 and is able to upload a batch of files to a VAX/UNIX system? The UMODEM program does not provide batch mode.

Kermit (from Columbia University - public domain, but they ask a $100 handling fee for a tape containing all versions) does bulk file transfers - the command you give to the receiver is "RECEIVE", and the sender sends the file name as part of the protocol (this has the disadvantage that you can't choose different names for the received files, but you can always change these later). There exist versions for UNIX and CP/M amongst many others, and among the CP/M versions is one for the H89. Kermit is available from Columbia University in the City of New York, Center for Computing Activities, 612 West 115th Street, New York, NY 10025. Point of contact is Daphne Tzoar, telephone 212-280-3703.
