[comp.unix.xenix] Zmodem for Xenix

simon@ms.uky.edu (G. Simon Gales) (08/12/90)

I want to make my xenix system call out and download files from another
machine using zmodem, just like I can user c-kermit now.  

Rz and Sz only let users download/upload from/to my system to/from a remote
DOS machine.  I have tried running rz and sz using redirection to the serial
port I'm using, but can't make this work.

Then there is Mr. Forensburgh's (sp?) Pro-YAM stuff.  Is this really the only
zmodem xenix software available?  TERM doesn't do Zmodem, and I really wanted
something pd/shareware anyway.

-Muchos gracias-

ECU is a terminal program that works exclusively on SCO XENIX and
UNIX and will do X/Y/ZMODEM as well as -er- SEAlink if you insist
on it.  It also has a fair procedure language and some other
nifty hacks.

My suggestion is to get a program called XCMALT. It is really great, does
everything you want, and is FREE! The best thing is that the author is
frequently updating the program to make it work better and to make it more
portable. I think it's really nice. Once you're logged into another
machine, you tell it to send/receive the file, then get the XCMALT
command prompt, and tell it to fork sz/rz with I/O redirected to that
process and all is taken care of (example: "$ rz" which will fork rz,
and redirect I/O to that process so you can receive the files you just
sent to yourself -- you don't have to use ">" or anything to redirect,
it does it by itself).

Truly, a wonderful program. I'm not sure if it's available via anon. FTP
anywhere, but I can mail you off a copy if you like. Let me know.

-- John

P.S. It has a complete scripting language, a dialing directory for
frequently dialed numbers and lots more. It goes far beyond other
programs I've used before (not saying it is the "end all" but it is
a rather complete package and I highly recommend it).
