Thanks for the replies, I do have the lrzsz package installed and the
modem ( actually an external TNC used for amateur radio teletype) is
working . I can send by keyboard, but I need to be able to send a saved
ASCII file. When I use the command ctrl-A S and give file name, it
doesn't go out. Maybe I should be using another package other than
Minicom for this application, although I have used several
communications programs in DOS that do this. If I am going to start
using Debian on a regular basis, it is vital that I be able to
transmit a saved file.
Thanks, Kim Breedlove k4ycl@wilmington.net
