I am trying to send a text file from my ST to a host running unix. So far I have had no luck with either xmodem or kermit. I have had no problem downloading with either one. I am using Uniterm as my terminal emulator, and the text file was generated using micro-emacs. When I try to upload all I get are NOACK's. I am rather new at this and would be grateful for any help. Thanks, drc

I also had the same problems here with our Suns, except with the 2400 baud modem connected to one of our main fileserver's (Jupiter's) /dev/ttyd0. The problems all stemmed from the Cisco Terminal Multiplexor that was used. If your Unix (tm of AT&T) is accessed through one of these babies or through something similar, it is necessary (it is here, at least) to set download mode on the Multiplexor (typing `set download.mode') BEFORE logging in, and using rlogin protocol instead of Telnet protocal to select a host (in my case, the name of the Sun I wanted to use), by typing `rlogin host' Then uploads and downloads preceeded nicely and error-free. -- Sean Kelly "I am not a number ... scksnsr@nmtsun.nmt.edu I am a free man!"

I have played around with it and I have only one sure fire solution that works every time. If anyone has a better solution, I like to hear it also. My solution is send a short file from the Unix box to the ST first. Then I am able to send the file I want to send from the ST to the UNIX box. I would love to find a simpler way. I thought only I had this problem. I guess I'm glad to hear that I am not. mike

Then Same problem here and same solution; it must be a problem with UNITERM, because I do not have the problem with other kermits. I once sent a mail about this to Simon Poole, but got no answer (but then, our mailer didn't work properly at that time). My version of UNITERM is 2.0d; maybe this helps Remco -- ------------------------------------------------------------------ Remco Bruijne USENET: remco@tnoibbc PHONE: +31 15 606437 ------------------------------------------------------------------

This was a problem that poped up suddenly in UniTerm 2.0e (002) (I think) and went away just as mysteriously in the next version, don't ask me why (it was definitly not related to a bug in the code, and never happend on my machine). -- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- UUCP: ...mcvax!cernvax!forty2!poole Simon Poole BITNET: K538915@CZHRZU1A ----------------------------------------------------------------------------

I had the same problem and solved it. When UniTerm sends the first Send-Init packet, there are two garbage characters at the end of it. One of them was a BACKSPACE. If that goes over a PAD or other editing device, the backspace destroys the packet. Kloppenburg@kmx.gmd.dbp.de kloppen@gmdzi.UUCP
