[comp.sys.apple] Looking for Apple IIGS comm pgm

pechter@scr1.UUCP (Bill Pechter) (08/04/89)

I have been asked to find a Public Domain or Shareware comm program for
the Apple IIGS for a coworker.  Not having access to one I'm wondering if
anyone out there in netland can help me.  

Kermit or Xmodem protocol would be a real help.

Your main problem is that UUCP hasn't access to 'ftp' and the list servers
don't seem to like UUCP addresses :-(

The software you're looking for:

  public domain - Kermit-65 (version 3.85) does a nice VT100 and a bare
                  bones XModem as well as Kermit (of course)

UUCP and Kermit access to the complete Kermit distribution is available from
the Department of Computing and Information Sciences, Oklahoma State
University, Stillwater, Oklahoma.  The procedures are somewhat complicated,
and are described in a separate file, AANOKS.HLP.

(I'll send you the file under separate cover, it's too large for general
posting)

    shareware - Z.Link written by Dave Whitney does VT100 XModem, YModem,
                and lots of other alphabet modems (I think).  Available
                on Genie and other places - ask
