Greetings,
I was wondering if there is another Port Accessing program for Unix
based machines, like CU, for a System V.
I am looking because I am trying to port to another machine, and CU
seems to work well for most of it, but some control characters aren't
coming through correctly.
If there are any possible ways to get the control characters to come
through please let me know, otherwise I would like to find a different
utility that will.
Thanks in advance.

Cu is supposed to be transparent to control characters. Though, perhaps, it might not like characters with the 8-bit on. If it's characters with 8-bit off that are causing problems, I'd start thinking that the modem is eating them. -- Chris Lewis, Phone: (613) 832-0541, Domain: clewis@ferret.ocunix.on.ca UUCP: ...!cunews!latour!ecicrl!clewis; Ferret Mailing List: ferret-request@eci386; Psroff (not Adobe Transcript) enquiries: psroff-request@eci386 or Canada 416-832-0541.

You aren't too clear about which control caharacters aren't getting from which point A to which point B. Nevertheless, there is XC, which will do whatever CU does, plus.

The program has been renamed XC. Posted to UnixForum in Compuserve a few weeks ago. My address as you gave it is OK, but see my signature. >-- > >Mike Squires (mikes@iuvax.cs.indiana.edu) 812 855 3974 (w) 812 333 6564 (h) >mikes@iuvax.cs.indiana.edu 546 N Park Ridge Rd., Bloomington, IN 47408 >Under construction: mikes@sir-alan.cica.indiana.edu Jean-Pierre Radley Unix in NYC jpr@jpr.com jpradley!jpr CIS: 72160,1341
