xmodem

[John Olcott_1]

I setup up my US Robotics modem on a HPUX 10.20 system to dial out. How do I
use xmodem to connect to another non HPUX system to download a file? Thank you.

To transfer files over the modem between systems, you first need a terminal
program on both sides. Next, you need a protocol that both terminal programs
speak (like xmodem, ymodem, or tcp/ip)

If you are transferring files between HPUX and a PC, consider using Hyperterm
on the PC and Kermit on the HP. Kermit is not written by HP, but is included
with the OS. It has a rather extensive man page that includes step-by-step
instructions for transferring files.
