[comp.unix.xenix.sco] File transfers over the phone

spiesman@amarna.gsfc.nasa.gov (SPIESMAN, BILL) (04/22/91)

I am having trouble transfering files over a phone line to
my computer. I have been using kermit, but now have a problem.
When I dial up via a DDN internet tip, kermit no longer
sends files. I believe that the problem is that these dial
up lines must be run withough xon/xoff (^Q is a command) and
they trap single "@" characters (their attention character).
Does anybody have any ideas how to 1) make kermit file transfers
work in this environment (remote logins via kermit are no trouble),
or 2) send files over the telephone line without error checking
(some versions of kermit have a TRANSMIT command to do this,
but kermit386 doesn't).

Thanks-
