I'm looking for some information about the protocols used in Unix file transfer programs (eg umodem). Having read the manuals I see that they use the TERM II File Transfer Protocol (XMODEM is TERM II, type 3). The idea is to get a dedicated micro (using an 8051) to transfer data (as a simulated file) onto a Unix box -- using the existing commands (umodem if possible) -- over a MODEM. I have the C sources to various programs which use these protocols but nowhere do they explain how the protocol works. I can of course decode one of these programs and find out the method but I am liable to miss something (probably important) so I hope that some kind person out there can supply details of the protocol or a pointer to where details may be found. Thanks for your time, vic -- Victor Gavin Zengrange Limited vic@zen.co.uk Greenfield Road ..!mcvax!ukc!zen.co.uk!vic Leeds LS9 8DB +44 532 489048 England

Try getting in touch with Chuck Forsburg. I beleive he has a document that sumarizes the *modem protocols. The last address that I have for him is ...!tektronix!reed!omen!caf . g.
