I haven't actually used my HP48 in a bit, but...IIRC, the "server
mode" is a standard Kermit server mode. As far as command-line
programs you can use to move things around, you might try gkermit
(like ckermit, but with only send and receive functionality), or maybe
rx and sx (szrz package). Setting up things to talk correctly to
serial lines is always tricky, though; I'd use minicom (can do xmodem
transfers) or ckermit myself. (ckermit ran under DOS...it can't be
*that* bloated... :-)
