The kermit file-transfer protocol would be a good place to start as most Unix machines in Netland support it. It's basically public domain and I think the University of columbia have the original (don't quote me on that!). Regards, Dan.

If you are running UNIX, I have something better for you. I use a program called "sz". It was written by Chuck Forsberg of Omen Technology INC. I have version 2.10 (5-9-88) for V7/BSD. As for the PC side, any number of programs such as Telix (great!), ProComm, etc will do. Compared with Kermit, it's warp 6! By the way, anyone know if Mr. Forsberg in on the net? And, perhaps, if the sources are availiable so that the program may be compiled on other machines? Take care. P.S. "(don't quote me on that!)" also applies :-) -- _______________________________________________________________________________ "The Force will be with you, always."

Re: using 'sz' as a PC-Unix link works fine, provided the modem is directly
connected to the Unix box. If some kind of dial-up network is being used
with something like a 7E1 parity then file transfers of binaries may not
work (does anybody know a good reliable fix for this, in situations where
the user can't control the line settings on the network?)
rz/sz sources can be found on the UNIX-C section of Simtel20

I.e., "sz -ea file" or "sz -eb file". I've been using this through our terminal server and it works fine. (Doesn't work w/o the -e) Doesn't seem to impact on throughput, either...
