Hello All,
I have been trying to get Zmodem working with Kermit failing miserably.
It looks like a problem with re-direction, but I'm not and even more
unsure of how to correct it. I need a communcations package that will
allow me to use Zmodem and has the scripting capabilities so that I can
automate a download. I do know about Pro-Yam, but they do not have a
compiled version for AIX and it is only available in source form. There
is also not a heck of a lot of information on their Web site describing
the product. Anyways, enough rambling. Idealy it would be nice to get
Zmodem working with Kermit. I have the following environment and if
anyone can assist, I would appreciate it.
AIX 4.1.4
Kermit v6.0 (binary from Columbia U. and yes I did buy the book :-))
Zmodem v3.44 from the Omen ftp site.
Cardinal 33.6K modem
I've gone through the chapter in the book that talks about using external
protocols and set Kermit up as it suggested. Zmodem compiled using gcc,
without any problems. I set up kermit using the following:
set file type binary
set proto zmodem {rz -v} {rz -a} {sz %s} {sz -a %s} {rz -v} {rz -a}
I indicate to the remote site that I want to download a file and I put my
side ready to receive the file and I get the following message in the
/tmp/rzlog file "Retry 0: Got TIMEOUT".
The site that I am connecting to is a BBS, which does have Kermit, but the
implementation has a problem, because everytime that I download a file, I
get a bigger file which is corrupted when I try to uncompress it.
I have the serial connection on the AIX machine setup as 8N1 with hardware
flowcontrol (actually, I tried xon-xoff as well).
Any suggestions would be appreciated.
regards,
