Subject: Umodem

I know someone who would like to dial into our Unix system and from
another Unix system (using the Unix "cu" command), then use a modem
program to transfer files.  We have the 4.2 BSD xmodem (from UCSD) on
our end.  Does anyone know how to do this?

Some problems encountered so far:  Executing xmodem on the answering
system and umodem on the originating system from within "cu" does not
work.  xmodem, tmodem, umodem, and uc all appear to be programs for the
answering Unix system. "cu" (version 7) appears to be able to redirect
output or input, but not both to the same program. I suspect that "cu"
needs to be called from the the originating modem program to establish
a terminal mode with the remote system.  Does anyone have a modem
program that will do this? Or does anyone have a Unix modem program
that has a terminal mode?
