- I use a programm called Pcomm. It is similar to the popular PC program
- ProComm. It includes several popular file transfer protocols. I forget
- where I got it but an Archie server can tell you where to look. Xmodem
- comes with Pcomm but zmodem is assumed to be a separate program that
- Pcomm invokes when it performs a file transfer. You will need to get
- zmodem code and compile it. I have copies of both pcomm and zmodem for
- the Sun so if you can't locate it I could make mine available. If you
- are dead set on using kermit I think zmodem can be used with it, though
- I've never tried it.

- Hope this helps,
