Indeed, this was just what I was looking for. I had no idea that serial transfer protocols were still useful. It makes me wish I had kept the source for quicknet, I wrote my own file transfer and remote terminal for CP/M in the middle 1980s. I did it just because I wanted things to work a certain way and none of the other options did what I wanted. quicknet was really pleasant on a 128K Z80 (not really 128K because the screen was mapped in there, but more than 64K). I spent many a pleasant hour logged in to uwvax in quicknet, got a lot of work done. Thanks to you and others who had shown that serial transfer still matters. Who knew? You did. -- --- Larry McVoy Retired to fishing http://www.mcvoy.com/lm/boat
