You can use C-kermit (the portable kermit written in C) to talk to your 48. Remember to set up your serial port in the kernel so that it doesn't need the Carrier Detect pin to be active to let you open the tty, or just use the /dev/cua* device (minor device number 128 and 129 instead of 0 and1). Then you can just use kermit to tranfser files in and out of your 48. Remember to set file type binary. If you don't have kermit around, you can get the complete distribution with anonymous ftp from a variety of sites, e.g., from watsun.cc.columbia.edu. /ji
