[comp.sys.ibm.pc.misc] NEW to Group, Need Bitcom Advice

mroos@sequent.UUCP (Martha Roos) (01/11/91)

Hi, I'm new so sorry if I'm asking about something that's been done
to death, but I'd like to transfer files from my PC at home to my
account at Sequent Corporation.  I also, for what it's worth, use my
PC to log into my Sequent account.

These files are produced with MS Word 4.0, but I can send them in 
pure ASCII, I don't mind.  They're usually around 10K bytes.  

My comm software is Bitcom 3 and I've tried to send using kermit and 
Xmodem.  But all I get is lots of whines from my PC and empty files
in my Sequent account.

Anyone who has tried and figured out how to do this?  Many thanks
for any advice.

I use ProComm+ with kermit all the time.  I simply go into kermit (interactive
mode) on the Unix box, then type 'r<cr>' to transfer to Unix, then PgUp to
upload.  To transfer to the PC, type 's filename<cr>', then PgDn on the PC.
