i've got FLASH and just recently got my hands on the source for umodem,
which although for 4.2|ver7|sys3 seems to compile without complaints on
sysV, so now i can upload/download via xmodem right?
wrong. both sides just sit there waiting until one of them times out.
is there some secret code that must be entered from the keyboard, some
magic word to be intoned? some small animal to be sacrificed? if not,
is there a real copy of xmodem for unix that'll work with the xmodem
one gets using FLASH ? if not, okay, i'm not fussy, i'll take KERMIT,
er, that is if some entity out there could direct me to a version that'll
run on the ST...

oh BY THE WAY, my mouse died, and after fruitless attempts to revive it
i took it into a local atari dealer. that was a month ago. went in there
yesterday and the dealer presents it to me with a replacement charge of
$45!!!!
to understate the case, i was not amused. the chap at the store said he'd
seen a lot of dead mice showing up lately, and that he didn't make a cent
off of getting them replaced. atari bills him $X, he bills me $X (+ tax).
