Kermit-65's VT-100 seems to do the job for most folks who prefer public domain commware to ProTerm :-) * Internet from the Columbia University CUNIXC System: Effective August 18, 1988, the Kermit files are available on host CUNIXC.CC.COLUMBIA.EDU, a VAX 8700 running UNIX (Ultrix). The IP host number is 128.59.40.130. You may get files from it with anonymous FTP. The Kermit files are in directories kermit/a, kermit/b, kermit/c, kermit/d, and kermit/e. You can also send mail to Info-Kermit and Info-Kermit-Request at this address. The process is roughly like this: FTP to CUNIXC.CC.COLUMBIA.EDU, login anonymous (or ftp), any password (we prefer that you use "user@host" for the password, specifying your userid and hostname, for our statistics), and then CWD (or CD) to kermit, which contains a file read.me, which you should read. Then CWD (or CD) to a, b, c, d, or e and GET or MULTIPLE GET (or MGET) the files you want. Note that file names are lowercase, and you must refer to them that way on CUNIXC, even though all the Kermit documentation lists the filenames in uppercase! Since CUNIXC is a heavily-used machine, please try not to FTP files from it during peak hours. There are presently no formal restrictions, so please don't overburden the system. If the response is very slow, cancel your session and try again later. --------------------- You'll need APP385.1 and APP385.2 Also the file APPLE.DOC can be helpful :-) Murph Sewall Vaporware? ---> [Gary Larson returns 1/1/90] Prof. of Marketing Sewall@UConnVM.BITNET Business School sewall%uconnvm.bitnet@mitvma.mit.edu [INTERNET] U of Connecticut {psuvax1 or mcvax }!UCONNVM.BITNET!SEWALL [UUCP] (203) 486-5246 [FAX] (203) 486-2489 [PHONE] 41 49N 72 15W [ICBM] -+- I don't speak for my employer, though I frequently wish that I could (subject to change without notice; void where prohibited)
