Shot in the Dark

[davidklecha]

Anyone who isn’t big into SCO-UNIX can probably just skip this entry.

So: I’m trying to transfer a file from a SCO-UNIX machine to a Windows machine using Termulator II. It’s on a serial connection, so I know it’s going to take a million years. I’m hoping for it to finish before Monday night so I can FTP the data to where it needs to go by Tuesday morning.

I’ve tarred the files and am trying to use HSEND to bring it to the Windows machine. Remotely, to add a challenge. The client is about 100 miles away and I can’t get into their office before Tuesday morning anyway, and that would be a bad time to start a massive serial data transfer.

What I’m getting is the transfer dying and claiming to be canceled by the host after 2035 bytes or so. The kicker is that it looks like I have five or six different HSEND binaries, and a couple of them give a memory error and core dump.

So: is all knowledge really contained on the internets?
