- Dear Netters, I keep seeing requests of the form "How do i get "telecom
- program" without a telecom program????
-
- Here's how I did it on my DEC VT180 "Robin", a CP/M machine.
-
- Boot in terminal mode, or use a Y adapter to run a terminal and modem.
-
- connect to the computer that has what you want, in Ascii format.
- (I obtained the .hex file that I could link for kermit)
-
- PIP datafile=modem, or pip modem=datafile, i forget which way it goes..
-
- tell the other computer to type/list the data out, with a time delay,
- and watch it upload to your cpm machine.
-
- link it, and hope it runs...
-
- I iterated this process several times until I got a runnable program.
- I then used this program to upload itself again just to make sure it
- was all there, then iterated it again to be *REAL* sure.
-
- Kermit has now been running on my machine for years...
