Hello (again), After some testing I was able to connect my PC at home with my friend's PC over the phone, using Procomm 2.4 . I got this version from another friend, and honestly, I WILL buy the ProcommPlus software when I'm able to use this version for what I need it for. Now, I have this strange problem since I am able to connect to a remote PC. I can't find a way to down- or upload files from and to it. I only tried the HOST mode to do the job in, because then I can enter a remote SHELL to search the files I want to download, or rename uploaded files. First of all, I can get into this SHELL , but the remote computer seems to ruin my screen when I press the Del key, altough there is no DOSEDIT or other memory resident software enabled on the remote PC. I can solve this problem by ignoring the Del ( and maybe other ) keys, impractical, but it works. The real problem is when I choose U)pload or D)ownload in the HOST mode session . I get another menu , with the possible protocols , and when I choose K)ermit I am asked a filename (it's an ASCII-file in the remote Procomm-directory) and OOPS... a strange characters appear on my screen and nothing is downloaded nor uploaded. I tried the other protocols too but without any luck. Finally I gave up. HELP !. What am I doing wrong, or what is wrong with the Procomm 2.4 version. Can it be solved ??????? Many thanks in advance.

I find I can't upload to this unix system with ProComm 2.4.2. Comments?

I assume you are using KERMIT on the UNIX(tm) side, so the next step is setting the number of bits (7/8) to the same on both sides. This is probably the most common problem. -- _____________________________________________________________________________ Steve Casagrande (201) 576-2238 | ...att!mtund!smc AT&T Bell Labs, Lincroft, NJ | smc@mtund.att.com

Did you set the baud rate and parity rate at the unix end of things? I had the same problem and found that I hadn't set all of that up correctly (because I could use kermit without having to do anything). -- Patrick A.

I usually get about 2 or 3K transferred and then I get cut off. What I think is happening is that during the transfer I am transmitting the correct caracter sequences to log me off the UNIX host. To eliminate the problem, the files have to be uuencoded in the PC and then transferred. I have seen uudecode programs for the PC but no uuencode programs yet.

But really, one cannot even hope to get useful hints for these kinds of things with the amount of info supplied. Many would be willing to help, given: What kind and version of DOS? What kind and version of UN*X? What programs are attempting the transfer on the UN*X end?

I had the same problem talking to C-Kermit on a Pyramid. I fixed it by setting Procomm *parity* to Space, but it all depends on how your Kermit(tm) was compiled.

ProComm 2.42 doesn't seem to set the serial port as advertised. Try
using SPACE parity for Kermit transfers.
