We have not tried K95 yet. That is plan G and we are only on plan E right
now although we may skip plan F. Obviously we need to move to K95 which we
have here but the remote location does not. I know we have patched our
version to the current. If we do send them K95, what files do we need to
send and how should we handle the license? Can we use our pre paid MSK bulk
license?
Everything we do is simply file transfers between a host and multiple
clients connecting either through a serial cable or over a modem with files
going both directions. The clients are almost always true MS DOS and they
will be using MSK 3.1x. Do you know which of the sample scripts would be
the best to review?
Thanks,
Steve
