[net.micro.cpm] MODEM7 on Unix

From:  Mike Ciaraldi <ciaraldi@Rochester.ARPA>

I want to do some file transfer between a VAX/VMS system
and a Codata 68000 Unix system. I have "umodem" and "xmodem.for"
to support the host end of a CPMUG transfer protocol.
Does anyone have a version of MODEM7 or equivalent that runs
on Unix?  i.e. a terminal emulator that can also do file
transfers, like "cu" but with the CPMUG protoocol.

And, of course, if you hear of any, please let the rest of us know.

actually UMODEM will do almost what you want with only minor
modifications.  Thanks to the unix miracle of redirected IO,
all you have to do is something like UMODEM -ST FOO.BAR >/dev/tty11
The only problem is that tha umodem banner is also sent to primary
output, messing up the transfer.  We got around this by making the
banners go to stderr instead.  Contact knutsen@sri-unix for more
details...
