Or you might consider using an external protocol in Procomm (z-modem, because it is available for both ends). Still another option is using z-modem from Telix terminal emulation because it is inbuilt in Telix. I know from my own experience with a Unix Sun 4 and a PC that using Procomm(+) kermit file transfers between a Unix system and a PC is one of the weakest available alternatives, anyway. If you have a choice, consider the others. There is quite a number of utilities and information for these alternatives at the anonymous ftp site chyde.uwasa.fi, Vaasa, Finland. Look eg for Telix and MsKermit in the /pc/pd2 directory, and Mskermit and Procomm utilities and advice in the /pc/ts directory. ...................................................................
