I know that it has been discussed a lot but because I just recently
got a 1040 and because I want to know what the *best* way is, could
someone fill me in on the following:

1) The best way to get software from a SysV unisoft machine to
a ST
2) The best terminal emulator program (price *is* an object)

I have the developers kit on order. I do not have kermit on the Unix box.
I do not have xmodem on the Unix box. I am interested in the cheap and
easy way to get all the software I have stored from the net on to my new
toy. Thanks in advance.

You might, if you have not already done so, check that xmodem
is called umodem, as it is under BSD4.2.

What on earth are you saying?

1. There is no "standard" xmodem utility on 4.2.

2. I have about 4 different xmodem utilities running on 4.2 on our
VAX, and only 1 of them is called "umodem". The names of the others
all can be traced to "xmodem" in their spelling.

3. The truth then is the following:
On your machine someone has installed "umodem", a utility which
provides xmodem file transfer (with a couple of goodies). On
other machines this may not be the case: on another (4.2) system
it may be called "xmodrec" and "xmodtran", or "sb" and "rb"...

4. For file transfer with the ST I find that "xmodrec" and "xmodtran"
(posted to the net a while ago) work fine with "sttalk". I could send
the programs to anyone who asks.
