I'm using Kermit to connect to a number of local bulletin boards (including
the one I'm using to access the net!) and I would like to do some file
downloads of things like text files and GIF pictures. However, when I just
tell the board to download something, and go into Kermit and type "receive",
it does not seem to want to do it. (Not surprisingly, I just thought I'd try
anyway...)
The question is, is it possible to do file downloads from BBS's that do not
support the kermit protocol, and if not, what sort of software (short of a
$500 communications package) can I use to do so? Please email replies.
Thanks a two to the twentieth power.
