[comp.unix.xenix] Looking for a xfer protocol

davek@lakesys.UUCP (Dave Kraft) (08/11/89)

Hi there,
I'm looiking for a transfer protocol (x/y/z/whatever-modem) source code that is
usable with cu.  If anyone has such a beast, I would appriciate it if you would
emai it to me ASAP.  Thanks in advance.

Dave

 Have  you looked at procomm?

Please let me know when you find such a beast!

Why not just use ckermit.  If the line you are using is not a bidirectional
line, it should work right out of the box.  If you are using a bidirectional
line, you will have to hack on it a little while to get it to understand your
line sharing scheme.  Also, on my system ckermit writes screens much faster
than cu.

		      ^^^^^^^
Shouldn't this be pcomm, since procomm is DOS specific and code is not
available for it, that I know of?

A note on using cu with ANY file transfer program--cu forks a second
copy of itself.  The two cu's separate IO duties, one taking incoming
data and displaying it on the terminal.  If you try to run a file
transfer program such as x/y/z modem this cu process and the file
transfer will compete for incoming characters and transfer will fail.

I have source for both pcomm and the xyzmodem programs.  email me
and I will get you copies.  I will need a bang path route, through
uunet preferred.  This should also be available from alphacm BBS
in Southern CA, if you are interested I also have phone number for
it.

|Please let me know when you find such a beast!

	The "rzsz" software works fine, as likely would
	most similar packages ("umodem" for example).

	for example, to send file "file" using ymodem-batch,
	assuming "tty000" to be the serial port, try:

		~!sb file </dev/tty000 >/dev/tty000

	This seems to work fine.

[request for cu with file transfer protocol.]

>Why not just use ckermit.

One reason, is that ckermit on Vax hosts is a CPU pig. If you are
paying for time, zmodem can be much less expensive to run (roughly 50
percent on UCD Vax 11/750s). zmodem also appears to handle binary files
with less overhead and somewhat higher transfer rates.

My experience too. You can have the best of both worlds. zmodem can be
run from ckermit on your local machine with the ! command. In fact
zmodem can be run from with mskermit as well; I do it often.
