[comp.sys.handhelds] Kermit for HP48SX

pd@sics.se (Per Danielsson) (03/12/90)

A question for you lucky HP48SX owners out there:
Does the builtin Kermit come with a terminal emulator (which is
present in most implementations of Kermit)? If not, will it be
difficult to write one?

No it doesn't.  The built in kermit only supports file transfers.

Two commands: SRECV and XMIT allow low level I/O and can be used
to write a terminal emulator.  

A user language terminal emulator may be a little slow but good luck.
The hard part is parsing the key inputs and updating the display
fast enough.
