: Should work; try starting RECV on HP48 just before sending from PC.

: Do you mean that you have to actually type "send xxxx" on K95?
: What kind of "Windows program" is that?
:
What is it supposed to do, use telepathy to figure out which file you want
to send? :-) (*)
: You could have just used free MS-DOS Kermit and typed the same thing :)
:
MS-DOS Kermit might or might not work in Windows 95. It certainly won't
work for "Windows-Only" communication devices, or with devices that are
owned by TAPI, etc.
: BTW, how long is that file name?
:
Is there a maximum? Does HP-48 Kermit choke on filenames longer than a
certain length?
: If the above is of no help (because that's what you already did :)
: then try asking <news:comp.protocols.kermit.misc> instead;
: Frank da Cruz seems in a generous mood towards the HP48 this week :)
:
We try to be nice to everybody, but we don't necessarily have time to read
every newsgroup every day, so it is always a good idea to post questions
about Kermit on comp.protocols.kermit.misc, where you will get a prompt and
courteous answer.
: What about such settings as using the port directly, rather than through
: BIOS/PnP etc. (or does K95 take care of all this?)...
:
K95 lets you do it either way, your choice.
: ... you could also try
: eliminating Xon/Xoff, just in case one too many of those was sent.
:
The concensus seems to be that Xon/Xoff is not needed, and in any case
might not work at all during Kermit transfers.
See:
http://www.columbia.edu/kermit/hp48.html
for our current attempt at explaining how to use Kermit software with the
HP-48. Additional suggestions will be appreciated.
: So, will there be a K98 next month? After all, doesn't everyone want
: to ride on Mickey Soft's coat-tails and sell upgrades of their own
: every time the "big guy" rolls one out? :)
:
There have been 16 Kermit 95 upgrades since K95 was released, all of them
free. This will continue to be our policy for the foreseeable future.
: Will new HP calcs work with that new-fangled serial port?
: (or, will you have to buy a PC98 to use an HP98?)
:
What new-fangled serial port are you talking about?
Kermit 95 works with any communication port that has a COM or TAPI driver,
but if the physical port is not RS-232 (or can't be tricked into behaving
like RS-232, as, for example, RS-423 can be) then some kind of converter box
will be necessary to make it communicate with RS-232 devices.
