- KERMIT for FLEX is derived from the UNIX version.
- It is enhanced in several ways, such as data logging, server
- mode etc.
-
- It should run on about any version of the FLEX-09 (tm)
- operating system. Hardware dependent things are kept in the
- files FLK.H and FLIO.C .

- Command summary:
-
- CONNECT
- Format: CONNECT
-
- The CONNECT command will allow you to make a connection to
- the remote system over the line that was specified by the
- SET LINE command. If a log file was opened (SET LOG) then
- the data will be buffered in memory. If this becomes full,
- it will be written to disk. Handshaking is provided (see SET
- HANDSHAKE).
- While connected, several sub-commands are possible.
- These are the escape character arguments:
-
- C Close connection, "escape" to command mode
- S Show status of connection
- Q Quit logging
- R Resume logging
- H Show availability
- B Send 'BREAK' signal
- F Execute FLEX command
- 0 Send null
- ? Show escape character arguments
- escape char Send escape character itself
- Other Rings the bell
-
-
- SEND
- Format: SEND file [,file [,file...]]
-
- The SEND command will allow you to send a file(s) to the
- other Kermit. The drive number specification will be
- stripped off the filespec.
- The current transfer can be aborted with control-C.
-
-
- RECEIVE
- Format: RECEIVE
-
- The RECEIVE command will allow you to receive a file(s) from
- the other Kermit. The filenames will be specified by the
- sending (remote) Kermit.
- The current transfer can be aborted with control-C.
-
-
- GET
- Format: GET file [,file [,file...]]
-
- The GET command will allow you to get a file(s) from a
- remote server by specifying their names.
- The current transfer can be aborted with control-C.

-
- SERVER
- Format: SERVER
-
- This command will cause Kermit to enter server mode. The
- other Kermit can then issue server commands to send and
- receive files without having to give SEND or RECEIVE
- commands to Kermit-09. Type a Control-C to quit the server
- mode. After a timeout the server will quit.
-
-
- FINISH
- Format: FINISH
-
- This command will case Kermit-09 to tell the other Kermit
- (Which should be in server mode) to exit from Kermit. After
- receiving acknowledgement that this is being done, Kermit
- will prompt for another command.
-
- BYE
- Format: BYE
-
- This command will cause Kermit-09 to tell the other Kermit
- (which should be in server mode) to exit from Kermit and, if
- applicable, terminate its job (or process, etc.). After
- receiving acknowledgement that this is being done, Kermit
- will exit to FLEX.
-
-
- HELP
- Format: HELP
-
- This command will give a short display of the available
- commands.
-
-
- LOAD
- Format: LOAD file
-
- This command will send a textfile to the current line.
- It can be used to send a file of parameters to a smart
- modem, or to send bare text to the remote system.
-
-
- FLEX
- Format: FLEX [command]
-
- This command allows you to execute a FLEX command from
- within Kermit. When no command is given, it will be prompted
- for. Be careful only to use FLEX commands which run in the
- utility command space!

-
-
- STATUS
- Format: STATUS
-
- This command shows the current status of Kermit-09. This
- includes the number of characters that have been send and
- received from the remote Kermit. When a real-time clock is
- available, an estimate of the effective baud rate of the
- transfer is included.
-
-
- EXIT
- Format: EXIT
-
- This command will exit Kermit-09. If a log file was used
- with CONNECT, and the buffer contains still data, then the
- buffer will be written to disk before terminating Kermit-09.

- using for the transfer. A check will be made to see if the
- interface is available.
-
- BAUD
- Format: SET BAUD speed
-
- This command will set the desired baudrate for the
- communication. In simple FLEX systems the only baudrates
- allowed are 300 and 1200. This is switched by the divider of
- the ACIA interface.
-
-
- CONFIGURATION
- Format: SET CONFIGURATION number
-
- This command will set the configuration to use for the
- communication. The following values are possible:
-
- 0 - 7 bits, even parity, 2 stop bits
- 1 - 7 bits, odd parity, 2 stop bits
- 2 - 7 bits, even parity, 1 stop bit
- 3 - 7 bits, odd parity, 1 stop bit
- 4 - 8 bits, no parity, 2 stop bits
- 5 - 8 bits, no parity, 1 stop bit
- 6 - 8 bits, even parity, 1 stop bit
- 7 - 8 bits, odd parity, 1 stop bit
-
-
- ESCAPE
-
- Format: SET ESCAPE character
-
- This command allows you to set the ESCAPE character for the
- CONNECT processing.
-
-
- DEBUG
- Format: SET DEBUG on/off
-
- This command will make the transfer more verbose. It will
- show the received and transmitted packets, and various other
- things of interest.

-
-
-
- TIMEOUT
- Format: SET TIMEOUT value
-
- This command will set the number of seconds before Kermit-09
- will time out to attempt to receive a message. This timeout
- is used to handle transmission errors which totally lose a
- message. The default value is five seconds.
-
-
- IMAGEMODE
- Format: SET IMAGEMODE on/off
-
- This command will set the image mode transfer flag. When it
- is set, the data will be transferred as it is. This is
- useful for transfer between FLEX systems. When clear, space
- compression will take place, as well the expansion of tabs.
- Carriage returns will not be processed, while a linefeed
- will be converted to a carriage return.
-
-
- DUPLEX
- Format: SET DUPLEX full/half
-
- This command will control the CONNECT command, in that the
- locally typed characters will be echoed to te local system
- when duplex is set to HALF.
-
-
- LOG
- Format: SET LOG file
-
- This command will specify a file to capture the data
- received from the remote system within the CONNECT command.
- The file will be closed if the filespec is a dash ('-').
-
-
- HANDSHAKE
- Format: SET HANDSHAKE start stop
-
- This command will set the handshake characters used for
- controlling data within the CONNECT command. The defaults
- are XON and XOFF. When the capture buffer becomes full, the
- stop character is sent to the remote system. If that system
- stops sending data, the buffer will be written to disk.
- After that the start character will be sent.
-
- The SHOW command will show all parameters set with the SET
- command, with one extension: SHOW ALL.
-
- Format: SHOW command
