Could someone send me a help file for using Kermit on the NeXT? I can get so far as to activate my modem (using a standard Macintosh cable) but nothing works. . .

There are many different implementations, so I can't really tell you how yours works. I'm typing this from a version of C-Kermit that I got from gatekeeper.dec.com; the two tar files you need are /pub/comm/kermit/c/all.tar.Z and unix.tar.Z; the file ckuker.doc that gets unpacked contains the full documentation. There's also on-line help in the Kermit I'm using. -- PTD -- -- Palmer T.

My kermit says: C-Kermit>version C-Kermit 5A(165) ALPHA, 20 Jan 91, NeXT Mach 1.0 Numeric: 501165 I have been using it over a 19.2 kBaud line for some time now and it works beautifully... I also have the packet size up to 4000 bytes, which gretly increases file transfer throughput. The sources were posted to sonata, I do believe. BTW: i also have a modified version of the Makefile that has a new make. Add these lines to Kermit's Makefile near the bsd43 line (it is only three lines, the second one wrapped....): bsd43d: @echo Making C-Kermit $(CKVER) for 4.3BSD with acucntrl and max buf... make wermit "CFLAGS= -DBSD43 -DDYNAMIC -DACUCNTRL -DNETCONN -O" this will make a version of 4.3bsd kermit that allows for the outrageous buffer size that I like to use (4,000 bytes). This works on rt_r3, pmax, and microvaxen, haven't tried it on a Sun. b.bum b.bumgarner | Disclaimer: All opinions expressed are my own. wb1j+@andrew.cmu.edu | I officially don't represent anyone unless I NeXT Campus Consultant | explicity say I am doing so.
