Is Kermit available for the RISC/6000? We have a version that only lets us
download files to AIX; not the other way.
Thanks,

Kermit 4E(072) from watsun.cc.columbia.edu (ftp, I'll be glad to go get the UUCP info if necessary) compiles and runs on AIX 3.1 9021 using the System V stuff... make sys3nid will work with one change, namely somewhere there is a #ifdef undef that you have to change to an #ifdef NEVERDEFFED to get it to compile.... and the xlc open() call is rather picky about expecting the device on the other end of the serial port to look something like a modem (probably more a function of the serial driver than the call itself), but it works.... Warning: do NOT attempt to get it to compile Berkeleyish, the POSIX line disciplines under AIX are not what Kermit expects to see.... the resulting binary will run, but you'll have buffered I/O to your console... much easier to just compile System V than to try tweaking fcntl()'s and ioctl()'s...
