Depends on what your system setup is.(i.e. what kind of computer/which terminal
program are you using) Also depends on what kind of operating system your
school is running. I know on the Unix system I call into the command to send
a file in z modem is sz filename or ymodem is sb filename or xmodem is
sx filename . But then you may need to initiate a start in your terminal
program also.(I'm not sure how to use kermit as I have never used it. Maybe
someone could give me a hint as to it's advantages over zmodem?)
