What on earth are you saying?

1. There is no "standard" xmodem utility on 4.2.

2. I have about 4 different xmodem utilities running on 4.2 on our
   VAX, and only 1 of them is called "umodem". The names of the others
   all can be traced to "xmodem" in their spelling.

3. The truth then is the following:
	On your machine someone has installed "umodem", a utility which
	provides xmodem file transfer (with a couple of goodies). On
	other machines this may not be the case: on another (4.2) system
	it may be called "xmodrec" and "xmodtran", or "sb" and "rb"...

4. For file transfer with the ST I find that "xmodrec" and "xmodtran"
   (posted to the net a while ago) work fine with "sttalk". I could send
   the programs to anyone who asks.
