I've been told that the local LAN on campus is connected via black boxes called 'SYTEK' boxes. They seem to work allright, except for the kermit limitation. This is supposedly caused by the fact that the syteks use the same ^s/^q that z/y/zmodem protocols use. *sigh* Far as I know, (short of writing my own telecomm protocol) there's no other way. One exception: I frequently get .hqx files. I type them on the VAX, and they get streamed to Zterm. then I save them as text, and can un-hqx them. This works well, as most of the Mac stuff out there is hqxed. My problem is a little more esoteric. Has anyone found that using Zterm causes the screen to flicker? Actually, the bottom half of the zterm screen gets refreshed. Usually, this doesn't cause much of a problem, but I've recently started using software that depends on being able to show inverse video reliably. Is there anyway to turn this refresh off? -- | Ken Corey aka... kenc@vaxb.acs.unt.edu | | "We MUST succeed, otherwise we run the risk of failure...." | | -Dan Quayle |
