[net.micro.mac] xmodem file transfer for HP9000 systemV

e572@sphinx.UChicago.UUCP (eric s de vos) (10/17/86)

We would like to be able to use Xmodem protocol on our HP9000 running system V.
I recently downloaded software from the net for the macintosh that claims that 
it will transfer files via xmodem, operating in the background.  I would love to
be able to transfer files while still working on my mac locally.  
If you know were we can get xmodem file tranfer software that can be easily
ported to our HP9000 systemV, please let me know, or post the source.
Thanx in advance.

Do you mean HP-UX?

All of our HP-UX systems have umodem (same as xmodem, I don't know why
we use the name umodem).  I have used umodem to transfer files to/from my
Mac using VersaTerm, however I prefer using kermit.

If you do not have umodem on your system contact me and I will see if I
can send you the source/binary.
