Subject: Re: Kermit uploading

Dear Netters, I keep seeing requests of the form "How do i get "telecom 
program" without a telecom program????

Here's how I did it on my DEC VT180 "Robin", a CP/M machine.

Boot in terminal mode, or use a Y adapter to run a terminal and modem.

connect to the computer that has what you want, in Ascii format.
(I obtained the .hex file that I could link for kermit)

PIP datafile=modem, or pip modem=datafile, i forget which way it goes..

tell the other computer to type/list the data out, with a time delay,
and watch it upload to your cpm machine.

link it, and hope it runs...

I iterated this process several times until I got a runnable program.
I then used this program to upload itself again just to make sure it
was all there, then iterated it again to be *REAL* sure.

Kermit has now been running on my machine for years...

Jim
