When trying to upload a file from the PC to a mainframe Unix that is called-up, I use the "send" command at command mode level. On the unix side, I've said "cat > random". What happens is that after the "send filename" is issued on the MS-DOS side, a few seconds later, massive numbers of beeps come through and the send only gets in a few lines of the text file to send (no binary in file). Flow-control with ^S/^Q is enabled on both sides (unix side is stty tandem). Modem is 1200 baud, 8 bit, no parity, 2 stop bits. I've tried both 1 and 2 stop bits and it gives the same result. Any takers? Stuart (cracraft@venera.isi.edu)

The best way to do this is use mirror's LWAIT command, to tell mirror how to wait before sending each line. What I use is LWAIT CHAR '^M'. This forces MIRROR to send a line, then wait for a CR to be echoed back (which will occur when unix has digested the line), and then the next line will be sent. There are other LWAIT's you could use, like LWAIT Echo, LWAIT Delay, etc, but these would be slower. -dalegass@dalcsug.uucp {uunet|utai|watmath}!dalcs!dalcsug!dalegass
