Subject: SURPRISE: on Sol-7, cku199a01.solaris7-sparc: something wrong
Date: 18 Dec 2000 04:07:35 -0500
Organization: PANIX -- Public Access Networks Corp.
Message-ID: <91kk4n$iq6$1@panix3.panix.com>
To: kermit.misc@columbia.edu
As you suggested, I downloaded the alpha version,
cku199a01.solaris7-sparc.
Runs ok as far as connecting via dial-out, etc.
But when I try to download -- no workee. Nada,
never.
Is incredibly late (4am) now -- can do experiments,
etc, tomorrow, if you want me to.
Am NO guru at all, so will have to be led by
hand, fed via spoon, to do whatever you want.
Am using solaris 7 on sparc5.
Connecting to panix.com (in NYC).
Have been using c-kermit-192, which after that one
try of the alpha, I quickly switched back to.
Even downloading dies often, have gone to extreme
of uuencoding binary files (eg .gz) and then
split -1000, so each file is maybe 30 seconds
to download.
That DOES seem to work -- doing "sum" on each
split file, (/usr/5bin/sum `cat t.nam` > sums.out,
and also summing THAT too, then downloading that,
and when finally get all transferred, diffing
the downloaded sums.out and similar local one,
re downloading bad ones, etc. Not really so bad;
much better than being totally unable!)
Until I did adopted that round-about scheme,
I was totally unable to download (to my machine,
from shell acct on panix) your alpha!

Am so tired I'm just rambling on.
Bye for now.

Oh, panix version (on their pcs, netbsd) is:
Versions:
C-Kermit 7.0.196, 1 Jan 2000

I assume that's the same on their "oldsun" machine,
which is what I have been using to download from.
Some sparc, with sunos 4.x.
