[stuff deleted]

I use Procomm on the PC side and Kermit on the VAX side.  Procomm has 
a script language that controls all the action.  I use this "on demand"
on a near daily basis.  The "scheduled basis" part I can't answer, except
I have heard of sharreware programs for the PC that allow "alarm" actions
to be executed.

BTW Kermit on VMS is not a DEC product.  I think it is public domain, so
check with your local DECUS.
