Is there some way to use xmodem from the /com/emt command? I'd like
to download stuff over a modem and the receiving end only has
xmodem. If not from the emt command, how about using tip or cu
in unix. Thanks for any info.

I have written a procedure using my User Supported VT-100 emulator, PC-VT along with a version of XMODEM on the Apollo to transfer ASCII files between the PC and the Apollo via a SIO port (which every Apollo has). Not quite as convenient as reading a floppy nor as expensive as buying Apollo's DPCC software. If anyone would like a copy, I have it posted on my BBS at 619-549-3927. -- --------------------------------- Mark C.

I'm been using the public domain program 'pcomm' ver. 2 by Emmet P. Gray. It has xmodem protocol support and works over the sio port. It's similar to the MSDOS Procomm program in case you are familar with it. I basically downloaded the program, compilied it under system 5 and it ran without much problem. This program was posted in comp.sources.unix back in Sept. 88. If you need it, drop me an e-mail and i will shar them off. Also if you are flexible, C-kermit 4e(72) from the Columbia University archives also works on the Apollos. One site to ftp the kermit source is watsun.cc.columbia.edu (128.59.39.2).

I assume that you are trying to use the APOLLO as the "smart terminal" and another machine connected via SIO as the "host computer". Sorry but I can't answer that. However, you can use the APOLLO as the "host computer" and run the XMODEM V3.4 program distributed over the comp.sources.unix newsgroup a couple of months ago, by applying the following patch to getput.c: --snip-- 292a293,296 > > #ifdef APOLLO > if (fflush(stdout) < 0) > #else 294a299 > #endif APOLLO --snip-- > > -- > Brett Slocum UUCP: ...uunet!hi-csc!slocum > Arpa: hi-csc!slocum@uunet.uu.net > "My name is Inigo Montoya.
