Does anyone know if there is a way to get Handshake to let go of the serial port without exiting so that I can use an external Zmodem download program to give it Zmodem capabilities? I like the term, but I hate quitting the term just to download a file from my account with Zmodem, and I don't like Kermit, Ymodem, and for sure not Xmodem! Any help would be appreciated, as well as if anyone knows when the next version is comming out, and if it will have Zmodem, and I don't mean that CRUMMY XPR implementation of Zmodem!

Yes. With 2.20b, just change the unit number for handshake. (Haven't tried it myself, but it should work I think even without another serial port). -- Randell Jesup, Keeper of AmigaDos, Commodore Engineering. {uunet|rutgers}!cbmvax!jesup, jesup@cbmvax.commodore.com BIX: rjesup The compiler runs Like a swift-flowing river I wait in silence.

Yes. With 2.20b, just change the unit number for handshake. (Haven't tried it myself, but it should work I think even without another serial port). 2.20b ? Really ? I thought handshake had stopped at the ubiquitous 2.12 ? I've been using VLT since then, but a new release of Handshake would be interesting. The VT100 emulation in handshake is still the best (or should I say, the only working one ?). Where can you get it ?

I have a VT100 emulator that acts as a filter (converts vt100 to whatever your terminal uses, using termcap), but it's STILL not quite right. Pretty close, though... better than most VT100 compatible terminals I've seen. Is the code to Handshake available? -- Peter da Silva. `-_-' <peter@sugar.hackercorp.com>.

To reduce confusion, let me say I didn't realize the the version I'm running isn't available publicly - I beta-test new versions for Eric, and got confused. -- Randell Jesup, Keeper of AmigaDos, Commodore Engineering. {uunet|rutgers}!cbmvax!jesup, jesup@cbmvax.commodore.com BIX: rjesup The compiler runs Like a swift-flowing river I wait in silence.
