OSTerm forks RZ/SZ from the file transfer menu.
 
What Ken did was add definitions to describe external protocols in
the osterm.config file. There are provisions to add in up to
three external protocols.
 
OSTerm comes with a config file set up to handle rz 3.24 5-5-93 for OS-9/68000

by Chuck Forsberg, Omen Technology INC. Are you sure that you meant 3.34 and 
not 3.24?
 
Anyways, no matter. If you do indeed have 3.34, and the syntax has changed, 
then all you have to do is edit the osterm.config file.
 
RZ/SZ does not include permission to be distributed with commercial packages 
like OSTerm, and so it is not included on the distribution diskette.
 
Sending and receiving files with OSTerm 68K and external protocols is exactly 
the same as with the internal protocols, thanks to some smart programming by 
Ken. With a batch protocol like SZ, for example, the Pick Files file picker is

used, and the list of files is passed to sz as a parameter.

Colin,
     The version of rz and sz I have is 3.24 for both, just checked.
I can't wait for the update, how long will it be ?

George,
     Are you sure you are talking about Kterm ? Or do you mean Osterm or
its graphic interface (??) forgot the name.
     BTW I am waiting for the final update of OSTERM and would like to
compare to the release V2.0 of Kterm, just got for testing and final
release.  No I don't know the price but will advise as soon as Blackhawk 
tells me.

Tim,
  OSKBOX is a Amateur Radio Packet mail Box/BBS written for OSK.
Packet radio is a form of digital radio using a computer, a TNC
(terminal node controller), and a 2 way amateur radio. it lets a ham
radio operator to connect with other hams via either directly or thru
his personal mailbox or via a packet network. I have sent messages to a
ham friend of mine in CAL. via packet. The msg is transmitted from one
packet node to another, figuring out along the way the best route to
CAL. Since each ham packet station has its own address, the msg doesn't
get lost. 
  Kinda like a FIDO network. In fact very much like a FIDO network,
execpt using 2 way radios and not phone lines.
 
Hope this helped.
 
John A. Donaldson

I can't honestly give an accurate answer right now. Ken is doing all the 
programming for the project, and is very busy at work right now. All I can say

is that it will be out as soon as possible. Sorry.

Scott,
    Your msg. to John Gagliano is off topic for this echo.
Please use private E-Mail or Net Mail not this Echo.  Check with your
local Sysop if you do not understand how to do this.
