Is there anyone out there who has any good ideas on transfering
.com files via packet on two IBM PC's? We have tried xmodem, but the
delays seem to always abort the xfer. It there any protocal that does
not care about time delays?

SuperKermit allows up to 31 packets to be in transit. You can download YAMDEMO.LQR from Telegodzilla; this includes the SuperKermit. YAMHELP.LQR also available on Telegodzilla contains a tree structured flash-up help processor for YAMDEMO. -- Chuck Forsberg WA7KGX ...!tektronix!reed!omen!caf CIS:70715,131 Author of Professional-YAM communications Tools for PCDOS and Unix Omen Technology Inc 17505-V NW Sauvie Island Road Portland OR 97231 Voice: 503-621-3406 TeleGodzilla: 621-3746 300/1200 L.sys entry for omen: omen Any ACU 1200 1-503-621-3746 se:--se: link ord: Giznoid in:--in: uucp

The data link layer supports transparent data (any arbitrary binary sequences). The weakest link may be getting the .COM file between your computer and your TNC. If your TNC won't let you send transparent data, you may want to convert it to hexadecimal as is done in the Binhex or Motorola S-record formats. Duncan Elliott University of Toronto, Dept.

Another method is to create a .HEX file and send that; I have used this method to send CP/M binary files over packet. Jeff, K9JA. austen@uiucuxc
