I'm sure virtually everybody knows this: where can I get a recent
Kermit for UNIX? My old one mysteriously lost the all-important .w
file.
It doesn't seem to be on my friendly neighborhood archive.

Are they using a recent Kermit? C-Kermit 1988 and later can use 1K packets, which I find to give a 40% throughput increase over the older limit of 94-byte packets, between a PC running MSDOS+Kermit 2.32/A and a Vax running 4.3BSD+C-Kermit. -David West dhw@itivax.iti.org

ZMODEM will still be a little faster under ideal circumstances, but the real beauty of ZMODEM is when you don't have a perfect (i.e. phone) connection because of its adaptive packet sizes. It also supports real-time data compression (for those that don't want to have to bother using compress before transferring text files). All in all, ZMODEM is the way to go. UNIX C source is available in one of the MISC or UNIX-C directories on simtel20. The same source also performs batch ymodem or xmodem transfers...

On a 168k file, Kermit took 25:50, PCI dosserv interface took 14:00 and Zmodem 12:10, using a 2400 bps link. Zmodem has an ASCII mode, as well, that will translate newlines to CR/LF for MS-DOS machines. Zmodem is my favorite protocol overall.

As far as I understand Kermit protocol only uses the 7-bit half of each bit in the transfers, and thus looses out in speed. On the balance, over difficult transfer circumstances kermit often is the only protocol that gets through. This is a classical case of different tools for different circumstances. If you are interested in more information, there were some interesting messages about kermit transfers in the news recently. You can get them by downloading /pc/ts/tskerm22.arc by anonymous ftp from our site. The messages are duplicated with the kind permissions of the authors. Tskerm22.arc also contains a number of MsKermit utilities. I also agree with you about the usefulness of z-modem. The big problem I have had with it is that I have managed to get only DSZ1019.ARC version, and Telix z-modem (which I use) work properly. With all other versions I have had one problem or another (and although my technical knowledge is limited, I can claim some experience with file transfer problems). ...................................................................

Can someone direct me to a site that has the source code for the Kermit version that works on SCO Xenix 2.3.2?? Thank You.

Speaking of kermit...
Does anyone know if there is a kermit for UNIX that allows one
to 'connect tty##' to a port?
I've done this on a VMS machine. I could type 'connect ttf4' and
reach an outgoing modem.

I'm looking for the right place to a: find out what the current version of kermit is, and b: get the name of the system to get them from.

I am looking for a version of kermit that is compatible with Honey-DanBer UUCP (/usr/spool/locks, etc.). The version of kermit that we have is 4C(057).

I have put the latest C kermit for Unix on all our platforms, IBM RS6000, SPARC, NexT, DEC 3100s, 5100s. The latest version 5A is VERY GOOD and comes with some nice improvement. Try it out. Just ftp it. ftp -i watsun.cc.columbia.edu ftp>cd kermit/sw ftp>mget * then make "machine type". Pretty straightforward. There is no problems whatsoever with HDB UUCP on all machines that we have.
