- I assume by your use of the 'cat' command that your office system is
- running some version of UNIX. See if your system has Kermit installed.
- If so, start Kermit on your office system in server mode (check with
- your system administrator for the info). Then when you have started
- Kermit on the work system, press Alt-K to bring up the PCPLUS Kermit
- Server command menu and press 2 to send. When prompted for a filename
- enter the name of the file you wish to send. When the transfer is
- completed, press Alt-K again and then select 3 from the menu to shutdown
- Kermit on your work system.
