Subject: Communications program info wanted

To transfer files between a unix system (any flavor, v7 and up) and
your osborne, you need a) some flavor of the modem program that has
been configured for the osborne (you can find this in the archives),
and b) a program for unix that implements the same protocol. There are
2 unix modem programs out there. Umodem, which I didn't write. It has
tons of options and is a @i(large) piece of code - also, I have been
told by someone that they tried to use compile it on their flavor of
unix, and it didn't work.

There is also Tmodem, which is my program. It is a program in the unix
style - it does one thing (transfer files), and it does it well. It
will send files up or down and that's it. Two options. It is meant to
transfer binaries from unix to cp/m. It has been under heavy use by a
number of people, and I've ported it to everything from a vanilla v7
to berkeley 4.1. (I like my programs (biased, but such is life.).) If
you need help with Tmodem, ask me. I'm here.
