I need a program that will do menu driven uploads and downloads using xmodem and/or kermit protocols; sort of a bbs style downloading system. Does anyone know of any package out around the net that might possibly do this? I'll be running it on a Sun 4/110 system.

Emmet Gray's ``PCOMM'' (version 1.2*) seems to be the perfect answer to your needs; it should be at any archive site. His home site for those who wish to ftp is ``cerl.cecer.army.mil'' [IP 129.229.1.101]. In operation, PCOMM resembles the popular ProComm Plus found on MS-DOS boxes, its commands are all menu driven, and the file transfer menus are invoked and selected using the arrow keys on your keyboard. The systems on which I have successfully compiled and used PCOMM include: 3B1 (aka UNIXPC and PC7300), AT&T SVR 3.51 thru 3.51m [68010], A/UX 2.* on a Mac [68020], CTIX 6.2* on a Convergent Technologies MightyFrame [68020], and Sun 3/60, both SunOS 4.0.3 and 4.1.1 [68020] Thad Floryan [ thad@btr.com (OR) {decwrl, mips, fernwood}!btr!thad ]
