I need some help again already! I was able to ftp to milton and transfer Kermit 2.2 to my UNIX account on the university's system. It is now located amongst my files as kermit2p2a.sda and kermit2p2b.sda. How do I go about getting these into my c64? I tried to download them using Novater 9.1 by selecting XMODEM as the protocol and then trying to download with the C=D combination. But after a while, and with basically nothing going on between my computer and the mainframe, a message came up on the screen that Novaterm aborted the transfer. What am I doing wrong here? Thanks again. J. P. Grenert hamilton@brahms.acs.udel.edu

I think i typed something(In Unix) like XMODEM -b (filename) to start the actual send of the file. Then i jsut set up on my end and it started downloading. Of course you might need to use a stripper after downloading it with XMODEM. Well let me know if that was any help to you. Mike..

Well, in response to the question about Novaterm's download: First off, you have to initiate a transfer on unix. At the UofI, the command sx <file> starts a tranfer using x-modem...but check your man pages.... If that doesnt work, try using man -k modem or man -k download to look for a command that might help...SOMETHING will be there, probably...

Well, I'll assume you know how to tell your Unix machine to start sending you a fie by Xmodem... What terminal parameters are you using? If you are calling at 7/E/1 or basically anything that is not 8/N/1, then Xmodem will not work, nor will Ymodem. In fact, Kermit is the only protocol that works in the 7-bit world, but of course you don't have that yet. 'Tis a problem. Perhaps you can get a friend with an IBM to download the files for you, then Xmodem them from his machine to yours. Or, if you can get 8/N/1 connected, you can download them yourself, but there can be tons of problems depending on what computers and network links there are between you and the computer. I know that getting a download working on our mainframe systems on campus is not trivial. Unless you use Kermit, of course. -- David DeSimone, aka "Fuzzy Fox" on some networks. /!/!

If your using the same xmodem I am, then you use this syntax: xmodem sbck filname Then select receive files mode from nova term, xmodem 1k protocol. ctfm
