Does anyone out there know where I can get a transfer protocol for my local
MAINFRAME, an IBM 3090, that will let me do x modem, y, or z modem, or
even sealink? Anything but this slow, unreliable KERMIT!
I have seen rz and sz for vax z-modem, but I'm not on a VAX.
PLease help me. (c556212@MIZZOU1.missouri.eu) mail.

(c556212@MIZZOU1.missouri.eu) mail. > If you are connected to the mainframe using TCP/IP, then "ftp" file transfer is available. "ftp" (file transfer protocol) is typically quite fast, reliable and very easy to use. "ftp" is a standard component in most IBM mainframe TCP/IP packages. If you are connecting to the host using SNA 3270 sessions, then the only standard, available PC to mainframe file transfer protocol is IND$FILE (probably even slower then KERMIT). There are a number of proprietary file transfer protocols available for IBM mainframes. Companies such as Legent Corp., Micro Tempus Inc., DEC, and Spectrum Concepts Inc. all make proprietary file transfer packages which connect an assortment of different microcomputers and minicomputers to IBM mainframes.

Anything but this slow, unreliable KERMIT! I can't really help you out in your quest for something new, but don't be too harsh on Kermit. I expect that most of your performance problems have to do with the fact that your mainframe link is half-duplex (whether you are connected via NTO, Hydra, what-have-you). This means that sliding windows protocols can't work, whether it's Kermit's or somebody else's. I'm a satisfied user of John Chandler's TSO-Kermit. No, it's not a real barn-burner-performer, but it does get the job done. - David Andrews dandrews@bilver.oau.org
