I am attempting to transfer files between my 800 and my 1040ST. I have made a null modem cable with pins 2-3, 3-2, 7-7. I am using Omnicomm on the 800 side, and Uniterm on the ST side. I am getting timout errors and such. Am I missing something? I know people have had success doing this sort of thing. Could one of you kind souls tell me what incantations I must use in order to get this to work? Thanks to all, Tony twmanino@eos.ncsu.edu

I use OmniCom to xfer files. A lot of files. I mostly use Xmodem, but have also used Kermit. Both work OK, except that there is an apparent bug in the Xmodem D(ownload) routine. When downloading to my XE, I have to press <CTRL>F after the download is done and I have Q(uit) back to terminal (communication) mode. I figured this out because I first did most of my downloading from Delphi, and it would just sit there until I hit <CTRL>C, then it would say "..Status: Final ACK missing." Well, I thought, maybe I can supply that ACK. A look in an ASCII table or two showed that ACK was <CTRL>F. It works! There is no such problem when uploading (OmniCom responds to the remote host's final ACK just fine).
