Subject: running kermit on BOTH ends; ^c confusion
Date: 15 Dec 2000 03:16:20 -0500
Organization: p
Message-ID: <91ck0k$hqg$1@panix5.panix.com>
To: kermit.misc@columbia.edu
I am on panix.com, and run kermit on both ends, ie
here at home on my sparcstation 5 (solaris 7) and
there, on EITHER their pc's running netbsd,
OR their sparc-something, sunos 4.x.
Several problems:
1: my us robotics 56k cheapo modem, they (panix)
say(s), should have some DIFFERENT special-for-panix
init string.
a. do YOU know the proper init string for panix?
b. how do I get the local kermit to do it automatically
(setup the modem a la panix) WHEN (and ONLY when)
I want to dial into panix?
(Yes, I could read this 620-page book you've written,
excellent, etc, but man, I'm just under information
overload, not as young as I once was (58 now), and
am not as easily able to fend off the devil in all
those details.... )
c. Having GREAT difficulty downloading .gz-files (of course
I set -i!), although can usually do it ok if UN-compressed.
Either kermit just stops in the middle, generating an error
every 10 or 20 seconds, or it finishes, but the checksums
don't match (yes, am using the correct checksum programs,
eg /usr/5bin/sum on sunos 4.x vs just "sum" on solaris --
is how I did it on netcom (shell, long gone now), worked
just fine.
Sometimes, those little slashes go across all across
the %-done line, but hangs at the end.
d. The Z etc cmds that kermit polls for -- to stop downloading
the file (via "x"?), or the one for the entire group --
doesn't seem to work -- kermit (the remote one) does
see the char, but after telling me, just goes on back
to being hung.
UNFORTUNATELY, a ^c gets me back to the kermit prompt
on my LOCAL kermit!!!
How in the world do you direct commands to ONLY the
REMOTE kermit? The last thing I want (man, are those
5 words ambiguous!) is to be disconnected from the
remote machine!
Any hints?
e. I am sure that all the above are really stupid and
totally obvious to anyone who really understands
kermit. But I work alone, access to info only via
usenet, email, and www (and VERY occasional conference),
so I rely on you.
f. Oh, thank you SO MUCH for your neat program.
g. If you do want me to read a few pages, I do have
the c-kermit book (ref manual, not tutorial).
(yes, I can come in and visit if you want, being
as I'm in nearby New Rochelle. But no way I can
afford the "consulting" price, no way at all.
(unfortunately, not all programmers are rich))
