I haven't actually used my HP48 in a bit, but...IIRC, the "server mode" is a standard Kermit server mode. As far as command-line programs you can use to move things around, you might try gkermit (like ckermit, but with only send and receive functionality), or maybe rx and sx (szrz package). Setting up things to talk correctly to serial lines is always tricky, though; I'd use minicom (can do xmodem transfers) or ckermit myself. (ckermit ran under DOS...it can't be *that* bloated... :-) -- David Maze [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://people.debian.org/~dmaze/ "Theoretical politics is interesting.
