- Been too long since I used ATE 3.5 but I think it allows you to use the
- 'UMODEM' program to do file transfers. The Umodem program is xmodem
- compatible.

- Look again at your FAQ and find that there is the Ohio State University

- You should be able to also use 'cu' to 'call up' your favorite computer.
- 'cu -s2400 -l/dev/tty000 5551212' will MAYBE work. (putting in the proper
