[comp.sources.wanted] dial-out/terminal program for Ultrix 4.x

ltf@ncmicro.lonestar.org (Lance Franklin) (05/17/91)

Can somebody point me to a dial-out terminal emulator program, besides
the obvious (tip or cu), that will allow me to utilize the modem on
my Decstation 3100 in a manner similar to the popular comm programs
on the IBM-PC, such as procomm or telix?  I already know about
pcomm2.0 and ECU, but both are written for Xenix and I haven't been
able to successfully port either to Ultrix, which is more BSD-flavored.

I'm mainly looking for the capability to (a) emulate vt100 and (b)
download/upload files via any of the several popular file transmission
methods, like xmodem, ymodem, zmodem or kermit (preferably all of these).

Alternately, has anybody had any better luck porting pcomm, xcomm or ECU
to Ultrix?  In particular, how does one keep getty or uucp from grabbing
the tty port while you're using it?
