- Try ftp-site watsun.cc.columbia.edu (128.59.32.2), which contains probably
- all the kermits programmed in world. I have downloaded from there kermits
- for RT-11, RSX-11M, etc. There seems to be one also for P/OS in the
- subdirectory b.
- Then you must upload the hex-coded binary to that machine in some way
- and then decode it. (I modified the decoding program for RT-11 so that
- it reads the hex-stuff directly from the line, because 8" floppies of
- my PDT-11/150 were too slow for uploading the stuff first with
- COPY TY: FILE.EXT command. I can post it if you need it. It is in assembly.)
