Hi Sabahattin and thanks. I believe that one can transfer files, contrary to the guesswork on the list. I have managed to "capture" and have the exported file show up on the DOS machine's screen, which means that the connection is sort of working. However, I cannot get the computer to upload or download files with the BN. Nor can I have the BN import files from the DOS machine. I'll look at the handshaking. Also, I'm not sure which protocl to use, I.E., ZModem, YModem. XModem, ... ASCII up.downoload, Kermit, and so forth.
Thanks again, Charles --- >Hi Charles, > >On 4 Feb 2005 at 11:56, Charles Pond <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> spoke, thus: > >> I assume that one can share files between the BN and aDOS machine through >> their serial ports?
