- I hope someone can help me with this one. I'm relatively new to this
- list, so if this topic has been addressed before, I'm sorry.
-
- We're in the process of switching from asynch to ethernet connections to
- our mainframes. We've discovered that we are no longer able to download
- from or upload to one of the mainframes. We used to access the
- mainframe via Microphone II, which supports the file transfer protocol
- kermit. (Kermit is the only transfer protocol this particular mainframe
- supports). We are currenly connecting to the mainframe via NSCA
- Telnet/MAC TCP, but can't seem to solve the download/upload problem.
- (Applications like Fetch, etc. won't work.)
-
- Does anyone know of either a Macintosh application Kermit which works
- over ethernet, or a Macintosh application which works over ethernet
- which uses the protocol kermit? I have a recent version of Kermit but
- can't get it to find the ethernet connection. Is there a way to do
- this, and if so how (i.e. settings, etc)? (The PCs in our office have
- solved the problem by using Procomm Plus.)
-
- By the way, I'm running on a IIsi with a NuBus Adapter Card/Apple
- Ethernet NB Card combination. The mainframe in question is a DEC, which
- does not support most ftps. Kermit is supposedly the only solution. The
- mainfame only has the application all-in-one, a DEC E-mail/word processing
- application. We cannot put execs such as WMAC on it.
-
- I appreciate any help you can give.
-
- Feel free to e-mail me privately, if this discussion will bore the list.
-
- Thanks
