If someone can redirect me, if not answer the question, I would be very grateful. At work we've got a Bell (Lucent) Call Management System running UNIX 3.2.3. I need to get a text file from that box to a PC and Lucent's tech support said find a utility that allows me to read a floppy on my PC that was formatted and written to by the 3B2 (which has a standard (?) floppy disk drive--700+K per disk (?)). I know nothing about UNIX, which is obvious, but I'm pretty good at the technical stuff on the PC side. Can anyone suggest a utility or better route? Lucent killed some other options, like formatting and writing to a PC floppy or using terminal emulation (apparently because of weaknesses in the 3B2 system itself running this version of UNIX). Thanks very much!! --Jerry Powell
