How? UUCP can, but it requires some setup, so it's recommendable for connections on a regular basis rather than casual needs. OTOH, it's the best existing batch file transmission system at all. (Not surprising, given its long history.) For the casual users, ``modem program'' like kermit or the Zmodem suite (sz/rz -- caution, recent versions are shareware!) are better suited. There's also Seyon, a communications program that runs under X11 with a nice user interface. -- J"org Wunsch Unix support engineer joerg_wunsch@interface-business.de http://www.interface-business.de/~j
