[comp.unix.xenix] C-Kermit and SCO Xenix

Hi to all,

I compiled and installed C-Kermit version 4E(072) 24 Jan 89, Xenix/386 on
a 386 box running SCO Xenix 386 2.3.2. No apparent problems. I would like
to use it with a TB+ modem. This modem is not listed in the suppported
list. I could mannage to "squeeze" out one dial session only. This attempt
was successfull as I transfered one file. Alas, I could not make it to
run again. I would like to hear from poeple who use this H/W-S/W
combonation. Please e-mail, I will summerize and post.
Thanks in advance,

I've been running Unix/Xenix now for several months (prior to that I worked
with QNX for 18 months) and the first thing I needed was a solid
communications package.  I started with pcomm - and kermit - and spend big
bucks calling sites around the country looking for communications package -
until I purchased ProYam '386.  ProYam does everything that I need to do and
supports all the popular protocols - and retails for $139.   I consider
ProYam the best communications package available.  It offers most of the
features from the DOS packages - without the fancy windows and such (and it
runs fine on serial terminals).
