Hi-

I've got a fairly typical & hopefully simple requirement.
I need to transfer data files over phone lines from a
DEC VAX/VMS to an IBM PC/DOS environment. The DOS end
is running Windows 3.0. I'd like to be able to do this
either on demand or on a scheduled basis from the DOS end.
I've been told that the VAX has a version of Kermit available.

What's the best way to accomplish this ?
Can kermit be caused to dial out, initiate a seesion,
transfer a file & wrap up from a single command line
or batch file or does it require human intervention at some
point ? Does Windows provide any mechanism for
scheduling a program to be run in the future ?

Thanks in advance,
