Hi!!
I'm getting data fed into a serial port (com2, cua1) from a satellite news
feed receiver. The data is pretty much ascii text with a few control
character to indicate various newsfeed specific features (urgency,
distribution, etc), and also start and stop control characters etc.
Rather than sit and write a program to do this, I was wondering
whether I could use a communications program avalaible in the public
domain.
1. Could I use kermit in receive mode to read the data from the serial
port using the receive command, though the protocol is not kermit? Is
there any way I could get kermit to take care of the data receiving
part.
2. If not, are there any programs out there that I could use??
A quick reply is appreciated
Thanx
Lobo
