I am looking for implementations of the Modem7 and Xmodem protocols to run on a DEC VAX under the VMS operating system, version 4.2. Sources in just about any language would do the trick, but of course Macro would be handiest to carry around in VMS-land. Public-domainness is a prerequesite. We have been happily running Kermit for quite some time now, but some of our users also frequent the commercial networks and the local BBSs and would find it convenient to use the other common file-transfer protocols. So if there are any other common protocols or variant dialects (isn't there something called Xmodem/CRC?) that you know of that have been implemented on VMS, please send me pointers. Thanks muchly...

Please let me know what you find out. I am porting a ZetaLisp Kermit to MacLisp and I would like to add XMODEM and cousins for completeness, but I am not certain of the protocol spec, or just what variants are around these days. You can find a version of MODEM7 called LMODEM written in MacLisp on the file MC:FJW;LMODEM > but since you're not on the arpanet I suppose I'll have to mail it to you, after I ask FJW to make sure it's the latest version. --Devon

The DECUS VMS SIG tape has two implementations of XMODEM -
VMODEM from Project Software
and another whos originator I cant find. The is supplied
for a handling charge from your local DECUS rep and has other
useful software on it.
