Get the zmodem package for your unix machine, it handles x,r, and z modem protocols, even through 2 stages of terminal LANs. (use 'sz -l 1024 filename' to download) I found it in the pd1: directory on simtel. It works fine with many unixs, BSD 4.? included. I had to quit using it when we changed to SUN OS 4.0.3. All the modems here go 8-bit no parity so I don't know if it can be used on a 7-even modem. It works very slick with telix. However I never was able to upload a binary file to unix with it. (I didn't try very hard, though.) Brynn Rogers Honeywell S&RC rogers@src.honeywell.com work 612-782-7577 home 874-7737
