help with C-Kermit

[balanga]

It's probably 20 years since I last used Kermit, but I'm trying to use it to upload files over a serial connection.

Can anyone suggest where to start? There seem to be around 120 commands which is a bit intimidating..

kermit
set modem type none
set line /dev/cuaU0
set speed 115200
connect

seemed to get me connected... Now how to upload files?

It's probably easier if you use comms/minicom. It's an ANSI terminal emulator heavily inspirited by the old MS-DOS Telix application. It should support various different transfer protocols (Zmodem, Xmodem, etc.).

Telix! That's going back some time... I spent many hours using that program.... Much preferred it over Procomm...

So did I. I've worked for Tron (of the infamous TelTron 1200 modems) back in the day and had built a complete automated menu system for Telix to test modems

It shouldn't be much of problem for you then, minicom is exactly the same as Telix.
