Does anyone know of an implementation of the Xmodem protocol that runs under BSD Unix on a VAX? I have Microsoft Works on my PC at home, and it expects the world to talk Xmodemese. Any help gratefully accepted. -- Douglas Harper oravax!harper@cu-arpa.cs.cornell.edu There are no examples of anything that has no examples. Therefore, everything has examples. -- Douglas Harper oravax!harper@cu-arpa.cs.cornell.edu There are no examples of anything that has no examples. Therefore, everything has examples.

Things will go MUCH faster than xmodem and you could use sz/rz on the Vax which is available all over the place (should be able to email you a copy if can't find one, let me know). My experience with zmodem and the Telix communcations package have been nothing but favorable dealing with Unix based hosts. I get 239 cps on a 2400 baud connection. =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Reginald Reed -- Struggling Computer Science Student -- Does Bo Know Comp Sci??

Do an ls x* to see. ---------- The source for xmodem came from the Simtel archives at White Sands Missile Range. If you wish to reproduce the source files, do the following: Get in your local directory where you will want to keep the source. Then: Type ftp 26.2.0.74 and then: login: anonymous password: guest ftp> get pd2:<unix-c.xyzmodem> xmodem36.shar (The file xmodem36.shar will be got. Then...) ftp> bye xmodem36.shar is a shell archive. Extract the sources by typing /bin/sh xmodem36.shar Then type: make to make the executable module. Move the executable module to wherever you want it (/usr/local/bin is a good directory for it).
