     Can anyone provide advice on how to use ARexx to access the serial port?
Can Arexx keep up with 2400 baud (on a stock 68K Amiga)?

     I'd like to write a program similar to uucp, but in ARexx and for the BB
systems I frequent.

     Is there a version of xmodem (or y or z) that's invokable from the CLI
(or more specifically, from an ARexx program that already has control of the
serial port)?

     I'd heard that Larry Phillips had written a program called SerMod which
does at least -some- of what I'm looking for.  If so, where can I find it?

     Any assistance on this will be greatly appreciated.
