I retract. It would rock if it would work reliably. I'm having all sorts
of issues. Here are the commands I am issuing to (hopefully) make things
more efficient:
SET FILE TYPE BINARY
SET SPEED 115200
SET FLOW RTS
SET REC PACKET 2000
SET WINDOW 4
I put the side with the files I want to grab in server mode with CONNECT.
I send commands over and sometimes they work, sometimes not. Sometimes it
stalls and recovers after a few seconds; other times it never recovers (I
have to manually break the operation on either the server or client side).
I've tried all sorts of combinations of the above configuration. I've
even booted the program and left the parameters untouched, and get the
same unreliable results.
It may be because I'm expecting too much from an old IBM PC/AT, but
Laplink transfered an entire 30MB hard drive over the same serial link at
115200 and didn't hiccup once.
The intractable problem seems to be that there is no recursive file get,
at least in the version I'm using, which makes this completely useless for
me. Screw Kermit.
Back to square one :(
