We are looking for a software package which we can use to transfer files internationally. (We already have modems.) We could use almost any of those basic terminal emulation packages, such kermit or procom, but we want something which is tailored to file transfer. The application is critical, so we are seeking a commercial package with good vendor support. Some of the features we are looking for are: 1. Automatic initiation of the transfer at a user defined time (so we can set up to transfer after we leave work). Automatic retry if busy or other failure. 2. Able to transfer text and binary. 3. Error checking to guarantee proper delivery. 4. Password exchange or other security to prevent unauthorized access. We hope to avoid writing scripts or transferring files manually, and we prefer to purchase a package tailored to automated file transfer. The software should run on a standard IBM type PC and should support 9.6 modem speed (with AT command set). We control both ends of the links, so compatibility with other hardware and software is not an issue. Please email replies, and I will post a summary. Thanks in advance. Steve Armil AT&T Paradyne
