In any case, I've seen messages here to this effect. I've been wondering myself for quite some time. I've tried to contact some of those people who were wondering how to do the same, but to no avail thus far. I believe the procedure is something like the following: 1) Obtain an XMODEM type terminal program for the C64 2) Obtain or write a TERMCAP and place it in /usr/lib/terminfo on the UNIX (tm) machine 3) Modify the .profile file on the UNIX (tm) machine I suppose that from there you should be able to then dial the machine, communicate and be able to transfer files. In any event, is this the proper picture? If not, would someone please post the PROPER procedure to this net? While your'e at it, please post a WORKABLE termcap as well. I would like to be able to use C64 to xfer files back and forth from machines at work. If there are any other comments about such operations, please feel free to send me mail or post it here. Thanks in advance, Doug Donahue AT&T Bell Labs 201 522 6175 btlunix!nebula
