First problem: So far the only comm utility that I can get to work on my Xenix/286 machine is cu. But how do you use sz or rz (zmodem) commands from within cu? I've tried many different methods, but none seem to work. Second Problem: I tried to get pcomm to work on my system and when it compiles it always ends up with a passle of unresolved externals that I haven't been able resolve. i.e. why are they unresolved, and how do i fix them. Many thanks to anyone who can give me any guidance on these, I'm sure, simple questions. Stephen M. Milton University of Washington, Seattle

Rz and sz are not written to be used from within cu. Professional-YAM is

I have used rz and sz quite happily from within Kermit, which is widely available for Xenix. -- Paul Gillingwater, paul@actrix.gen.nz

To use rz and sz from cu: (ttyxx is the port you are dialed out on)
To upload a file:
type at host prompt:
rz
then type:
~$ sz foo.bar </dev/ttyxx
To download a file:
type at host prompt:
sz foo.bar
then type:
~$ rz </dev/ttyxx

to compile pcomm on xenix (excerpts from Makefile):
#for SCO Xenix
CFLAGS = -Od -DM_TERMINFO -M3e -LARGE
LDFLAGS = -M3e
CURSES = -ltinfo -lx
TERMLIB = -ltinfo -lx

It's available from the uunet archives. It's really nice, and is specifically made for SCO XENIX/UNIX unlike pcomm which is generic.

Tru ECU :-) available from comp.sources.misc archives (new version Real Soon Now). >type at host prompt: >rz >then type: >~$ sz foo.bar </dev/ttyxx The problem with standard cu is that it does not kill it's receiver process when it forks with ~$, thus cu's rcvr swallows some/much of the protocol traffic from the remote host. Indeed, as the man page says, ~$ sends the OUTPUT of the forked process to the line, but it, er, forks up your INPUT. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Warren Tucker emory!n4hgf!wht or wht@n4hgf.Mt-Park.GA.US "I was 35 years old before I knew a pie was meant to be eaten." - Moe Howard

I have used rz and >sz quite happily from within Kermit, which is widely available for >Xenix. Yam is GREAT, but the manual is very confusing and the support sucks. I've tried to get a Wyse 60 terminal to work with Yam for several weeks. I have tried to use Chuck's GEnie account for support, but he only answers some of my questions. When I ask why specific questions weren't answered he tells me to use voice support. I don't want to run up a $20 phone call to the NW when e-mail is available. I don't know what I've done to warrant such treatment, but I'm tired of the problems in trying to deal with Omen Tech. Does anyone have a Wyse 60 terminal working with Pro-YAM? Here's my configuration and the problems encountered: Compaq 386/20, 8M SCO Xenix 386 2.3.3 (the real 2.3.3 via xnx155b) Equinox MegaPort 24 w/2.0.0 drivers Wyse 60 terminal with ASCII Keyboard Pro-YAM as installed works fine on the SCO console. When I try to run from the Wyse 60 terminal, the program comes up normally and all looks fine, including the reverse video message "Hit F10 for help". I should note that this terminal/serial port combination works fine with other application programs and to the modem with cu. Pressing F10 on the Wyse keyboard does bring up the help screen, but it's control codes aren't correct. It comes across as a bunch of garbage. The biggest problem is that when in terminal mode I loose complete control of the program. I can't get back to command mode, I can't talk to the modem, and I get random IOCTL error messages. THIS NEVER HAPPENS AT THE CONSOLE. At CAF's request, I verified that "echo $TERM" from within Pro-YAM returns "wy60" in reverse video. I have also asked for an explanation of the following: My Pro-YAM was purchased roughly 2 years ago. When purchased, the printed manual pages were Version 17.50 TurboDial 2.33. I was told to download the latest version of Yam which provided me with a "xman" file which says it's Version 17.66 TurboDial 2.33. When I actually press F10 while in the latest Yam (1.2), it says Version 17.47 TurboDial 2.33. SPECIFIC QUESTIONS: 1. What's the relation between Pro-YAM 1.2 and help/xman versions 17.47, 17.50 and 17.66? 2. What could *I* be doing wrong that would work fine at the console and not at the terminal? Thanks in advance to anyone who can help.

I did this until I could afford to by Pro-YAM from Chuck. The Pro-YAM product is a much better way to go. I use it daily. So do most of my office mates. It is definitely $$ well spent. -- Mark C.
