Hi friendly Netlanders! Does anyone out there know of a PD tip like program that will work with SCO Xenix running on a 80386? For those that don't know what tip is, its a communication package that will allow, among other things, the capture and transmission of ascii files. Unlike cu, it can capture and send to non-unix systems. Thanks for your help Frank Paterra paterra@cs.odu.edu

Not only is it PD, it runs on many different platforms, including UNIX, SCO Xenix, MS-DOS, DG/AOS, VAX/VMS, CP/M and others. It will handle an ASCII transfer as well, and if you wish, you can shell out to a Zmodem transfer. Source code is readily available... I didn't mail this response, because I'd like to ask a question or two on Kermit: I have SCO Xenix 386, with a Trailblazer. I want to run it with a locked DTE speed of 19,200, but Kermit only allows up to 9600. Has anyone patched Kermit for higher speeds that could post me the diffs please? (I have Larry's patch program -- nice software!). Second question: has anyone had much experience with using Kermit on an IBM mainframe? Like, which OS does it run under -- VM? CMS? CICS? Does it do ASCII/EBCDIC translation? Can it run over SDLC, or X.25, or maybe even X.32? I await your response, netpersons... echo "thank you" >/dev/future -- Paul Gillingwater, Computer Sciences of New Zealand Limited Bang: ..!uunet!dsiramd!csnz!paul Domain: paul@csnz.co.nz Call Magic Tower BBS V21/23/22/22bis 24 hrs +0064 4 767 326
