I have a customer who is connecting a Xerox 6085 to a Sun Server via a serial port. Is there a Kermit or X-Modem protocol available that could be used to transfer files? The operating system on the 6085 is Viewpoint. Thanks, Jim Hoffman (301.379.5000) jimwhoffman@sun.com

I'm not a Viewpoint user, but it sounds like it would make more sense to transfer files over the ethernet than to use Kermit, given a Sun and a 6085. Below is a message on the subject of XNS file service under unix. Parcvax.Xerox.com will be retired very shortly, so you'd probably do better to contact Bruce Schatzman or the Xerox Systems Institute at (408) 737 4653 for the unix XNS software. --Christopher From: sequoia.Berkeley.EDU!sklower@ucbvax.Berkeley.EDU (Keith Sklower) Organization: University of California, Berkeley Subject: Re: Vax file servers To: info-1100@sumex-aim.stanford.edu In article <12371361215.99.SCHMIDT@SUMEX-AIM.Stanford.EDU> SCHMIDT@SUMEX-AIM.STANFORD.EDU writes (among other things): > Is there satasfactory software to run under Unix?

This is incorrect; You can get a version of filing server software that works well enough to get sysouts from a vax using the tajo system tool (or so, I've been told), via anonymous ftp from parcvax.xerox.com. In the directory xns, retrieve the file Xerox-xns1.0.tar.Z. I had to make one change to make it work on our systems: *** morexnslib/CHlookup.c Mon Nov 16 15:48:57 1987 --- morexnslib/CHlookup.c.org Mon May 11 07:02:10 1987 *************** *** 197,203 **** CourierConnection *conn; Clearinghouse2_RetrieveAddressesResults raresult; - conn.x_port = 0; if ((conn = CourierOpen(&chaddr)) == NULL) return(conn); DURING --- 197,202 ----
