- The answer to your specific question is to use the kermit program and
- documentation that came with it from an Interex CSL (Contributed Software
- Library) tape. At least one version of KERMIT is on the tapes from a few
- years ago.
-
- HOWEVER, why not use the transfer protocol supplied by WRQ with Reflection.
- It's probably faster and more robust on the 3000 anyway. (HP3000 systems
- are very good at some things IMO, but asynch I/O isn't one of them.) I
- haven't used Reflection for the Macintosh, but I'll be shocked if it doesn't
- either come with a special transfer program just for it and the 3000, or
- (more likely) support the same transfer modes that "R. for DOS" or "R. for
- Windows" do, namely, WRQ (PCLINK2.PUB.SYS) and OLD-WRQ (PCLINK.PUB.SYS).
