[comp.sys.dec] KERMIT on PDP 11/73

heik@engin.umich.edu (Kevin J. Doran) (06/29/91)

I am in charge of a PDP 11/84 at University of Michigan Hospitals.
I have been trying for the past several months to initiate a file 
transfer from the PDP to a pc.  I have not been successful.   My
version of Kermit 11 dates back to 1985.  I can never get my pc and 
the PDP to communicate with each other.

I know very little about programming (more of an operations person),
so I have downloaded the latest version of Kermit ll from Columbia
University, and have someone else building the files and installing 
them.  I hope this will resolve the problem for me.  If you're 
interested I will let you know if this works.  BTW I am using the
RSX 11M+ operating system.

For what it's worth, the only problem I've ever had between PC KERMIT and
PDP-11 KERMIT is that the VT52 emulation can't run K52. I've been using them
together since about the '85 timeframe, but I'm using RT-11 rather than RSX.
