KERMIT - on current (just released spring '84 - mine just came) decus tape. This, in addition to acting like a terminal to the remote system, can allow error free file transfer if the remote side has kermit. There is certainly a Unix Kermit available (also on the same tape). Note that Kermit on the remote (Unix) end is not necessary for simple terminal use. VAXDIAL - my submission on current decus tape. Incorporates Kermit and allows various other goddies including support for an autodialer and various subprocess control options. I assume when you said you would connect an asynchronous VAX port to a SYNCHRONOUS port on your UNIX machine, you meant ASYNCHRONOUS port on your Unix machine. I think you probably could never get anything to work with an ASYNCH connectted to a SYNCH port. Remember when you connect the 2 together, use a "null modem" cable: i.e. conductors connected to pins 2 and 3 reversed. Rg -------
