[comp.unix.xenix] cu with xfer protocol

cck@deneb.ucdavis.edu (Earl H. Kinmonth) (08/18/89)

I have a version of cu (source code) taken from Sandy Z's bulletin
board. I hacked it to call zmodem (it was already provided with x and y
modem), fixed the dialer, added a cd command, and a few other goodies.
I use it daily on an ATT6310 running SCO Xenix to connect to Suns and
Vaxen.

Unlike **IX cu, this version kills the second process during file
transfers and restarts it upon completion. This avoids that problem of
cu and the transfer protocol program fighting for the same port that
occurs with **IX cu.

I'll mail the source code if requested.

NOTE: This cu is very SCO (Intel) specific.

NOTE: The zmodem program is separate and can be run from other
communications programmes, including kermit.

NOTE: I am the author of none of these programmes.  Others had the
grand ideas.  All I did was make the programmes work....
