[comp.sys.hp] Communications software for HP9000/300

Yes, we have a c kermit here at the U of U which seems to be from Columbia
University.  It works on our HP 320 and 350 machines.  If you have not got
a copy of it somewhere around in your systems, I think (I'll have to look)
that it can be redistributed with no charge.

Both kermit and xmodem, (via the umodem program), are shipped with HP-UX
for the series 300.  I know they are in the 5.3 and 5.5 releases, and
they may have been in earlier releases.

If you have HP-UX 5.2 or later, you should have both 'kermit' and 'umodem.'
These programs are part of the standard HP-UX distribution and both should
be located in /usr/bin.

I'm not an official spokesman for HP, but isn't kermit an officially
supported tool?  (I did a "whence" on my system, which is a 9000/350,
and found kermit in /usr/bin/kermit).

If you don't have kermit on your system, mail me a note and I'll send
you some sources I have...
