No damage has happened with >it so far..... Sometimes my older/cheaper disks "whine" with the sounds of the media whippin' past the internal disk padding. I usually ignore it, unless it's an important data disk and I suspect the disk is wearing down. I don't know if it's the same phenomena you are experiencing. >2> I'm using Proterm to call our Vax 8600 here.

I can't seem to change >(correct) the problem with options. Any Ideas? Unix systems use the linefeed (control-J) for line termination instead of carriage return (control-M). I assume you are sending text files. I transfer text files by dumping them to the screen and capturing/logging the text to a file. ProTERM has a gawdawful huge scrollback buffer you can use. The benefits? It's at least as fast as Zmodem, and you don't have to convert ^J to ^M first. I send text files by mailing to myself, and sending ASCII from a file. Works great. It's prone to line noise at times, but with text files it isn't too critical. -- Dave Seah | Omnidyne Systems-M | INET: seah@ee.rochester.edu ^..^ | "User-Friendly Killing Machines" | America Online: AFC DaveS yargh! +----------------------------------------------------------------=*
