Message-ID: <1109@princeton.UUCP> Date: Fri, 11-Oct-85 00:49:02 EDT Article-I.D.: princeto.1109 Posted: Fri Oct 11 00:49:02 1985 Date-Received: Sun, 13-Oct-85 04:00:11 EDT Distribution: net Organization: Princeton University EECS Dept Lines: 15 We have several ibmpc's connected to ETHERNET LAN with the communication program 'yterm'. I can connect the ibmpc to the vax (running UNIX 4.2) using yterm. Therefore , the ibmpc serve as a terminal for the vax. Now , I escape the yterm program to DOS and invoke MSKERMIT and then type 'connect'. I get back to the unix shell. CKERMIT is then invoked. Then type 'send filename '; escape (^]C) back to MSKERMIT ; type 'receive '. However, there is no packet coming in. The screen just display 'transfer in progress......' message forever! (1) Am I totally wrong ? The kermit doesn't work on LAN ??? (only on tel line ? ) (2) Or I forgot to set some parameters ??? Can someone mail me sample session if same attempt has been done? Thanks in advance. HP Wei
