: Background information:

: I'm currently using C-Kermit 6.0.192, 6 Sep 96, for Linux as a console

: with the set up. I need to flash the firmware on my RAID controllers
: (CMD 5440), and this is the area of my question.

: The controller provides a facility to do an ASCII upload to itself. The

: how to use Windows Terminal (terminal.exe) to do this, and it works
: fine. I'd like to figure out a way to use kermit to avoid carrying a
: laptop to about 40 RAID boxen. Here are the guidelines the manual
: suggests:
:
: 1) use software flow control (easy: set flow-control xon/xoff)
: 2) must use ascii file transfer mode
: 3) must instruct terminal program to end each line of text with a
: carriage return/line feed.
:
: Items 2 and 3 have me a little confused. First, I'm not sure if kermit
: can do straight ascii uploads.
:
It can, the command is TRANSMIT. See Chapter 15 of "Using C-Kermit".
: If this is the case, then I'll look
: elsewhere. Second, for item 3, since I'm using a unix application (vice
: windows), I'm not sure this applies to me.
:
If it does, use SET TRANSMIT LINEFEED ON (as opposed to OFF, which is the
default). See the manual for complete instructions -- there is more to
"ASCII protocol" than the three items you listed above.
