I have a program that dials a modem and connects to a remote system. It then
executes a dialog with a kermit on the remote to set it up to transfer a file.
Then I want it to receive the file via kermit on my local system. I want
kermit to just come up, receive a file via stdin/stdout and then go away.
The whole thing will be executed via a crontab, so there will be no /dev/tty.
This is on a Sun/Solaris box.
The version of kermit we have (C-kermit?), when I run it with -riqd command line
options, appears to attempt to open /dev/tty and otherwise behave in an
unacceptable manner :-). Is there some way to make it do what I want, or is
there a program that just implements the protocol using stdin/stdout as
the port, without all the interactive program baggage?
TIA
Bob
