Of course we have Kermit images at:
http://www.columbia.edu/kermit/
but not on RX50 (at least not unless you can read Rainbow disks). You have
two choices:
1. C-Kermit 6.0: Can make outbound serial or telnet connections. Big:
http://www.columbia.edu/kermit/ckermit.html
2. G-Kermit 1.0: transfers files only over a connection you have made
INTO the Pro/350. Small:
(2) would be perfect, at least for bootstrapping, as described here:
http://www.columbia.edu/kermit/gkermit.html
(see the bootstrapping section at the bottom).
But unfortunately the only 2.xBSD images I have for either of these programs
are based on 2.11BSD. I can't say whether they will work on 2.9. But it's
worth a try. If it doesn't pan out, then maybe we can find somebody else
who has 2.9BSD to build G-Kermit for it, so we can add the image to our
archive.
Coincidentally, we adapted 2.9BSD for the Pro/380 here about 1984. I wonder
if you have the same code...
