Hi Dan,

Yep, there is one. It`s called XPRTransmit. It should be on the new fishes
anyway (#369, if I remember well). It uses the XPR*.Libraries. Using this little
program it should be possible to have X,y,z-Modem and Kermit running from the
cli. I use it to poll a german net and it works just fine. The author can be
reached via 2:507/406@fidonet (Andreas Schildbach). If needed, I`m able to
redirect e-mails to him.
