Thanks to every one who helped me get Kermit going. It works great, but
I now seem to get the impression that I probably wasted my time and
should have tried to get zmodem running, seeing as it's quicker.
So, as I phased it before:
Could somebody (to save me alot of time) please give me a sample setup
on both sides and a step by step guide to establishing a link and starting
/completing a file transfer with zmodem(sz/rz).
By the way this is Xenix. (Both sides).
Thanks.

This is how I do it: 1) Use kermit to dial up your remote system. Login, and make sure that rz and sz are in your current path. 2) To SEND TO REMOTE: a) Login to remote, cd to target directory. Enter command: rz b) Back to local system with ^\c -- this will give the Kermit> prompt c) Use the command: ! sz filename(s) >/dev/tty1a </dev/tty1a where tty1a is the modem port (this may differ for you). Note that a SPACE must follow the ! mark. As soon as it is finished, type C to connect again, then logout from the remote. 3) To RECEIVE FROM REMOTE a) Login to remote, cd to source directory. Enter command: sz filename(s) b) Back to local system with ^\c c) ! rz >/dev/tty1a </dev/tty1a d) Connect again then logout The above procedure works reliably for me. You can also place the commands in a shell wrapper, e.g. rz1a to save typing. If using an X.25 link or similar where some control characters may be lost, try using the -e switch with rz and sz. I posted this because I know others will find it to be useful. -- Paul Gillingwater, Computer Sciences of New Zealand Limited Domain: paul@csnz.co.nz Bang: uunet!vuwcomp!dsiramd!csnz!paul Call Magic Tower BBS V21/23/22/22bis 24 hrs NZ+64 4 767 326 SpringBoard BBS for Greenies!
