This will let you send and receive bytes via serial ports, but AFAIK, there isn't any perl code for doing zmodem transfers (but then I haven't done a great deal of looking, either). Best I remember, zmodem is not a trivial protocol to implement. It would be possible to write a perl implementation, but not trivial. Can you have your device do xmodem or ymodem transfers instead? Either of these would be fairly easy to implement in perl. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Robert Johnson Sent: Tuesday, April 19, 2005 4:40 AM To: perl-win32-users@listserv.ActiveState.com Subject: Modem File Transfer help i have some devices that send data files via ZModem. i want to automate the process of receiving these files for parsing via a perl script. after searching CPAN and other sites, i find that it's not as easy as i would have thought. Devices::Modem doesnt allow file transfer, and is apparently very limited in the things that it can do. mgetty/vgetty is only for *nix machines. these are the only things i can find related to modems. is getting a modem connection via perl that difficult? any help will be great, thanks robert (ps, this was sent earlier from work, with the silly ATT\d+.txt webmail attachment) _______________________________________________ Perl-Win32-Users mailing list Perl-Win32-Users@listserv.ActiveState.com To unsubscribe: http://listserv.ActiveState.com/mailman/mysubs _______________________________________________ Perl-Win32-Users mailing list Perl-Win32-Users@listserv.ActiveState.com To unsubscribe: http://listserv.ActiveState.com/mailman/mysubs
