You can transfer ascii and binary files between the HP3000 and a UNIX-based system serially (as well as through Telnet or NS/VT). You can even set up a script file to automate the transfer. I should warn you though that serial file transfer is much slower compared to networks. I would not recommend it for very large files. <plug off> -- Peter Gofton, Software Licensing Corp HP connectivity solutions.
