[comp.sys.sgi] Kermit source ftp address...

rosenblg@nyu.edu (07/04/90)

try 'cunixc.cc.columbia.edu'

you'd have to check the source for those mods.

Some time ago I got the sources to kermit from a columbia ftp address.

I forgot it. Do any of you know what it it ?

My specific need for source is I need to debug a serial port at
speeds greater than 9600. Do mods exist for  19200 and 38400 and EXTA, EXTB
baud rate in kermit ?

from /usr/people/4Dgifts/kermit/doc/aanetw.hlp:


* INTERNET FROM THE COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY CUNIXC SYSTEM:

Effective August 18, 1988, the Kermit files are available on host
CUNIXC.CC.COLUMBIA.EDU, a VAX 8700 running UNIX (Ultrix).  The IP host number
is 128.59.40.130.  You may get files from it with anonymous FTP.  The Kermit
files are in directories kermit/a, kermit/b, kermit/c, kermit/d, and kermit/e.
You can also send mail to Info-Kermit and Info-Kermit-Request at this address.

The process is roughly like this: FTP to CUNIXC.CC.COLUMBIA.EDU, login
anonymous (lowercase only), any password (we prefer that you use "user@host"
for the password, specifying your userid and hostname, for our statistics),
and then CWD (or CD) to kermit, which contains a file read.me, which you
should read.  Then CWD (or CD) to a, b, c, d, or e and GET or MULTIPLE GET (or
MGET) the files you want.  Note that file names are lowercase, and you must
refer to them that way on CUNIXC, even though all the Kermit documentation
lists the filenames in uppercase!

Since CUNIXC is a heavily-used machine, please try not to FTP files from it
during peak hours.  There are presently no formal restrictions, so please
don't overburden the system.  If the response is very slow, cancel your
session and try again later.

As of April 1987, you may also access the same set of files, in the same way,
on a new host, watsun.cc.columbia.edu, IP host number 128.59.40.130.  Response
time from watsun should be better than cunixc in most cases.  At some time in
the future, cunixc Kermit file access will be phased out in favor of watsun.
