Does anyone know of a way to get either XMODEM, YMODEM or ZMODEM
capability on a 3b1?
The ATE has UMODEM built in to it. Is that close enough to X, Y or
Z to work? Is there a way to add more protocols to the ATE?
(Ever feel like there are two worlds, IBM and UNIX, with NO bridges
between them?)

Is there a way to add more protocols to the ATE? UMODEM is for 'Unix Xmodem', and provides just that. If you can come by the source for the PD package 'rz/sz' by Chuck Forsberg (caf@omen.uucp), that will provide Y and Zmodem capability for a Unix system, though I am unsure about how you could integrate this into ATE.

Yes. You can purchase Pro-YAM. It has X, Y, and ZMODEM protocols, plus
Kermit (I believe). Contact Chuck Forsburg at reed!omen!caf.

You just need the right software between the two... it shouldn't be that bad ;-) Take care, Lenny -- US MAIL : Lenny Tropiano, ICUS Computer Group IIIII CCC U U SSS PO Box 1 I C U U S Islip Terrace, New York 11752 I C U U SS PHONE : (516) 968-8576 [H] (516) 582-5525 [W] I C U U S TELEX : 154232428 [ICUS] IIIII CCC UUU SSS AT&T MAIL: ...attmail!icus!lenny UUCP : ...{mtune, ihnp4, boulder, talcott, sbcs, bc-cis}!icus!lenny

There is a file /usr/bin/umodem that I assume contains the UMODEM code. Based on that, I assume the ATE forks off a umodem process and connects stdin and stdout to it. If that's right, then, theoretically, you could put a copy of rz inplace of /usr/bin/umodem. The ATE wouldn't know the difference. No, I haven't tried it but it seems like a safe experiment (I guess the worse that could happen is that the ATE could crash) so I'll give it a shot when I get time. Even if that works, you still only have one protocol available in the <Shift><Cmd> menu of local commands. Why oh why can't we get the source... -- Edward C.
