- This file will temporary help you implement KERMIT Protocol with Qmodem now
- until it is Offically implemented in Qmodem.
-
- In order to take advantage of KERMIT Protocol with Qmodem you have to use
- MSKERMIT.EXE and refer to the MSKERMIT.DOC file for the complete syntax of
- MSKERMIT. These can be obtained from most RBBS-PC Systems running CPC14-1B
- or greater by DownLoading a file called: RBBS-KRM.ARC My RBBS always has
- it available if you are having problems finding it.
-
- While in QMODEM and after you have told RBBS-PC CPC14-1B or greater to
- DownLoad or UpLoad a file ... EXIT QMODEM (Alt X) and EXIT QMODEM leaving
- DTR Present ( X instead of Y ) this way you do not drop carrier and loose
- connection with the RBBS-PC. (IMPORTANT: You can not Shell to DOS and then
- run Kermit! If you do, when you EXIT the Shell and return to Qmodem the
- COMM Port will not be in the same state and therefore you will have lost
- communication with Qmodem and the RBBS!) When you are at your DOS Prompt
- run MSKERMIT or PCKERMIT setting all of the parameters necessary for Kermit
- to communicate with the correct COMM Port, Baud Rate, etc...(see MSKERMIT.DOC)
- After you have Completed Your Transfer ... re-run Qmodem and when coming
- back in make sure that your Baud Rate settings that Qmodem and the RBBS-PC
- were talking with before are the same now as before by checking the Baud
- Rate Setings in Qmodem (Alt P) and change it to the correct settings if
- necessary. You are now back in Qmodem and RBBS-PC is waiting for you.
-
- I have included 2 files: REC.BAT and SEND.BAT which is also explained in
- the MSKERMIT.DOC file.
-
- If you want to receive a file when are talking at 2400,8,1,N and COMM1 just
- run the REC.BAT file. If you want to send a file using 2400,8,1,N and COMM1
- just run the SEND.BAT file and put the name of the file that you want to send
- as a parameter to the file (ie SEND filename.ext). On both of these files,
- after completing the transmission they will re-run Qmodem.
-
- One last thing, if you plan on UpLoading with Qmodem and Kermit (which I hope
- that you do) please go into Qinstall and take out any Modem INIT String that
- you might have because when you re-run Qmodem ... RBBS-PC will be prompting
- you for the Program Description and if you have a Modem INIT String that is
- what will be entered as the Program Description for the file that you just
- UpLoaded.
-
- If you have any questions, I am more than happy to try and help!
-
- Enjoy...
