We have an HP1000 running the RTE-A v4.0 operating system. We would like to transfer files from the HP1000 to an MS-DOS PC. We have Kermit running on the PC but have not been able to get a Kermit onto the HP1000. (I can get the sources for the HP Kermit on an MS-DOS disk or to a VAX/VMS system but have trouble transferring them to the HP). Does anyone have a working (preferrably executable) version of Kermit for the HP1000 with RTE-A, on a diskette that can be mailed to me? Is there perhaps another communications package that I can get for the PC or the HP1000 that will allow me to transfer files? Kermit on the PC also allows session logging where all that appears on the screen on the HP (while in terminal emulation mode from the PC) is captured into an MS-DOS disk file. However, since Kermit uses the XON/XOFF flow control and the HP uses ENQ/ACK, I have been unsuccessful with even getting a file transferred this way. Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance. -- Eva Placko Computing and Communications Services University of Western Ontario, London, Ontario INTERNET: eva@UWO.CA BITNET: eva@uwovax.BITNET Phone: (519) 661-2151 ext.6027

If you cannot get the HP1000 Kermit *sources* transferred to the HP1000
from a PC or VAX, how do you expect to transfer the *binary*?
(Sorry if I understood you wrong.)

Well HP sells "AdvanceLink," it runs on both the PC and the HP1000.
However, since Kermit uses the XON/XOFF flow control and the
HP uses ENQ/ACK, I have been unsuccessful with even getting a
file transferred this way.
You can turn the Enq/Ack off if you want. The exact command depends
on what kind of MUX you have, and I don't remember them very well any
longer.

The following are some of the options you have for transfering files between a PC and the HP1000: 1) Kermit - This is available from one or more of the following: a) INTEREX - The HP International User Group 585 Maude Court P.O. Box 3439 Sunnyvale, CA 94088-3439 b) CUCCA (Columbia University Computer Center) New York, N.Y. 10027 c) Don Wright - ICT Co. Lake Elmo, Minn. 2) AdvanceLink on the PC (HP Part# 68333F) and MONITOR on the HP1000. MONITOR is supplied with RTE-A. 3) Reflections (available from Walker, Richer and Quinn in Seattle) on the PC and XMODM on the 1000. XMODM is available through INTEREX. Both AdvanceLink and Reflections are terminal emulator and file transfer programs available on the PC. I use AdvanceLink most often, but have used both Reflections and Kermit in the past. > However, since Kermit uses the XON/XOFF >flow control and the HP uses ENQ/ACK, I have been unsuccessful with even >getting a file transferred this way. Both the C and D versions of the mux card (12040C/D) can be configured to disable ENQ/ACK and enable XON/XOFF. So, this should work. However, if you are using the 12005A (Async Interface Card) then you will have to update your software to a later rev (5.2 has just been released), in order to get the newest drivers for that card (ID100 and DDC00). The newer drivers allow you to disable ENQ/ACK and enable XON/XOFF. I hope this helps. Dave Medlicott Data Systems Operation

The 12005A cannot do XON/XOFF with any driver. So, the recommended solution is to upgrade to the D-Mux. This can be done by ordering HP part# 12040-67806. Also, you will need the latest software to use this upgrade. Dave Medlicott Data Systems Operation
