[deleted] This isn't a solution to your minicomm problem, but I'd like to point out that it is possible to use zmodem with kermit, assuming the programs rz and sz are installed on your system (I'd think that they are installed by default). Just do something like the following: From the prompt at the remote system, type the zmodem send command i.e.: sz filename When the line of weird characters appears, type the kermit escape key, followed by the `c' key. Usually, the sequence is Ctrl-\ C. This will put you at the local kermit prompt. From the kermit prompt, type: !rz </dev/tty01 >/dev/tty01 After the transfer completes, you should be returned to the kermit prompt. Type `connect' or `con' to resume your remote session. To upload to the remote system, the procedure is the same, inverting the sz and rz commands. Some people who are more clever than I have figured out aliases to use within kermit, so that they only need to type a short command from the kermit prompt instead of the long line that I use, but what the heck, carpal tunnel isn't really that bad :) Good luck, -Ben -- Benjamin Lewis (blewis@vet.vet.purdue.edu)
