Q M O D E M ---> K E R M I T
This file will temporary help you implement KERMIT Protocol with Qmodem now
until it is Offically implemented in Qmodem.
In order to take advantage of KERMIT Protocol with Qmodem you have to use
MSKERMIT.EXE and refer to the MSKERMIT.DOC file for the complete syntax of
MSKERMIT. These can be obtained from most RBBS-PC Systems running CPC14-1B
or greater by DownLoading a file called: RBBS-KRM.ARC My RBBS always has
it available if you are having problems finding it.
While in QMODEM and after you have told RBBS-PC CPC14-1B or greater to
DownLoad or UpLoad a file ... EXIT QMODEM (Alt X) and EXIT QMODEM leaving
DTR Present ( X instead of Y ) this way you do not drop carrier and loose
connection with the RBBS-PC. (IMPORTANT: You can not Shell to DOS and then
run Kermit! If you do, when you EXIT the Shell and return to Qmodem the
COMM Port will not be in the same state and therefore you will have lost
communication with Qmodem and the RBBS!) When you are at your DOS Prompt
run MSKERMIT or PCKERMIT setting all of the parameters necessary for Kermit
to communicate with the correct COMM Port, Baud Rate, etc...(see MSKERMIT.DOC)
After you have Completed Your Transfer ... re-run Qmodem and when coming
back in make sure that your Baud Rate settings that Qmodem and the RBBS-PC
were talking with before are the same now as before by checking the Baud
Rate Setings in Qmodem (Alt P) and change it to the correct settings if
necessary. You are now back in Qmodem and RBBS-PC is waiting for you.
I have included 2 files: REC.BAT and SEND.BAT which is also explained in
the MSKERMIT.DOC file.
If you want to receive a file when are talking at 2400,8,1,N and COMM1 just
run the REC.BAT file. If you want to send a file using 2400,8,1,N and COMM1
just run the SEND.BAT file and put the name of the file that you want to send
as a parameter to the file (ie SEND filename.ext). On both of these files,
after completing the transmission they will re-run Qmodem.
One last thing, if you plan on UpLoading with Qmodem and Kermit (which I hope
that you do) please go into Qinstall and take out any Modem INIT String that
you might have because when you re-run Qmodem ... RBBS-PC will be prompting
you for the Program Description and if you have a Modem INIT String that is
what will be entered as the Program Description for the file that you just
UpLoaded.
If you have any questions, I am more than happy to try and help!
Enjoy...
