Am I missing something? ATE seems a tad on the backward side for terminal emulation. Any recommendations for alternative communications software? The line wil be dedicated, so modem twiddling is not really required. I'm looking for something that provides reasonable VT100 emulation, file transfer, etc. Running in an Xwindow would be nice. I'm running AIX 2.2.1 and X11 (2.1) on a model 25. Has Kermit been ported to the RT? Is there anything snazzier and just as cheap? Thanks for any help.... -John -- ...................................

C-Kermit doesn't need much porting to work under AIX. I changed the lock file code so kermit would make locks in both /etc/locks and /usr/spool/uucp; I thought, at the time, that this was needed by the mix of applications that were in AIX 2.2. I also changed system-specific #ifdefs to enable some of the BSD-isms in AIX. One change I'd like to see, but haven't fixed on my copy, is support for 19200 Baud communication.

Version 4E(072), dated 24 Jan 1989, does support 19200 baud. Ge van Geldorp. (....!uunet!hp4nl!dutrun!vlruo02)

I've sucessfully used C-kermit 4E(70) on the Model 25 with AIX 1.1 using
the sys3 Make flags. I have not tried it on AIX 2.X yet.bunda@cs.utexas.edu (John Bunda) (05/25/89)
I retrieved Kermit from Columbia (sure wish there was a compressed tar file there, getting the individual files is so tedious. Make as "sys3" compiled clean other than optimization complaining about the setjmps. So far, it works like a champ. I'm running it on an old SGP, and it slows down a little running in an xterm (-s and -j options on the xterm are a big improvement), and I had to hack my .Xkeymap to get the keyboard to work right with vt102 emulation. -John -- ...................................
