We have an old 386 server using IBM-PC Kermit-MS 2.32/a (1989). It works
fine for accepting and sending files to HP48G which we use for data
collection. It is on line 24 hours a day. It has been in use for 5
years. Server is set for 9600 baud.
I am writing a VB 6.0 program and I would like to be able to send a file
to the server. This program will be distributed to about 100-150
customers. Is there a DLL which will do this easily?
With the HP48 we send a file to the server, download a file from the
server, send instructions to the server to copy the file onto a backup
folder, copy the file to a floppy, delete a file. The HP48 works very
simply and efficiently. The transfer protocol is 9600 baud, 94 byte
packets. Slow but the files never take over a few minutes.
We have tried to use PDQ Comm and TApi but the documentation is so bad
that it is very difficult to figure out what to do. Supposedly PDQ Comm
(now supported by Sax Software) has it but cannot tell.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Thanks, Bob.
