I know that it has been discussed a lot but because I just recently
got a 1040 and because I want to know what the *best* way is, could
someone fill me in on the following:
1) The best way to get software from a SysV unisoft machine to
a ST
2) The best terminal emulator program (price *is* an object)
I have the developers kit on order. I do not have kermit on the Unix box.
I do not have xmodem on the Unix box. I am interested in the cheap and
easy way to get all the software I have stored from the net on to my new
toy. Thanks in advance.

I am interested in the cheap and ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ You might, if you have not already done so, check that xmodem is called umodem, as it is under BSD4.2. Mike

There is no "standard" xmodem utility on 4.2. 2. I have about 4 different xmodem utilities running on 4.2 on our VAX, and only 1 of them is called "umodem". The names of the others all can be traced to "xmodem" in their spelling. 3. The truth then is the following: On your machine someone has installed "umodem", a utility which provides xmodem file transfer (with a couple of goodies). On other machines this may not be the case: on another (4.2) system it may be called "xmodrec" and "xmodtran", or "sb" and "rb"... 4. For file transfer with the ST I find that "xmodrec" and "xmodtran" (posted to the net a while ago) work fine with "sttalk". I could send the programs to anyone who asks. -- Mark Galassi ...!tektronix!reed!rosalia { these opinions are mine and should be everybody else's :-) }
