Hi all,

Is there a good serial communication package that understands
[A-z]modem protocol. I'm used to TELIX under DOS to get stuff down
via a phone line. I tried the installed KERMIT, but like under
DOS, it is so terribly slow ...

Thx Toon.

Try using kermit and then using rz/sz for file transfers.  It really flies,
just like Telix does.

To do this, just send the file via zmodem on the remote machine, then
escape to the kermit prompt, and say
        !rz <>/dev/cua?

Thanx!

Sure, try minicom
current releases version is mc14g
available on sunsite and tsx-11
We are currently developping version 1.5a if you can't wait
get it from our public linux machine in +31-1720-42580
in /pub/linux/communication/mc1.5a.tar.gz
This version includes local echo and some bug fixes ...

Kermit is OK, but I got tired of !rz<>/dev/modem ... it's a LOT easier to
do zmodem with minicom. Be sure you get 1.4g; earlier versions had
some problems.

This is great news; the lack of half-duplex is the only troublesome part
of minicom for me.

Try 'xc'. A great program that can be used also on the console and
supports a real ANSI screen there. Also it has a phonelist, scripts
for each entry, and very conveniently an auto zmodem detection. On
incoming zmodem data 'rz' is started automatically.

Get minicom. This is a Telix clone for UNIX. The current version if on
sunsite.unc.edu. Check the INDEX.whole file in /pub/Linux for the location
of this program.

It has everything Telix does except a backscroll buffers. The keys sequences
are the same as Telix as far as I can tell.

 I am using Minicom and it really work just like regular DOG comm program,
 the only thing is that the ANSI doesn't really work. Some of the characters,
 mostly a box which use HIGH ASCII code 178 show as #. Is there anyway that
 we can remap our Page-Up/Page-Down key so that it does like Upload/Download
 in Telix?

Next week we will release 1.5b which has:
local echo
backscroll
3 different dial string for different modem settings ..

Some codes weren't implemented on the older versions.
It works fine over here for all chracters now .
Upload/download still have to be done by the alt-s/r (send/receive) way ..
