seyon的kermit协议模块

			seyon-kermit protocol

These files add the ability to use Kermit file transfer within the
Seyon communications program.  (The Kermit program is not included;
get it from kermit.columbia.edu.)  They are configured for use on a
Linux system, and may need to be adapted to work on other systems.

Read the file INSTALL for installation instructions.

After it is installed, to use it, start up Seyon and connect to your
remote host.  On the remote host, say "kermit [-i] -s file ..." to
download, or "kermit -r" to upload.  Then use the Seyon transfer menu
to receive or send respectively.  The protocols file is set up so that
uploads look for the file in /usr/src/ on the local host, and
downloads put the file in /usr/dl/.  See the INSTALL file for
instructions if you wish to edit these according to your preferences.

These files solve the problem posed by the fact that both Seyon and
Kermit want to have exclusive access to the modem.  So it is normally
not possible to run Kermit while Seyon is active.  The exclusion is
enforced through a lock file, typically named /var/spool/uucp/LCK..modem.  
The script seyon-kermit renames this file to LCK..seyon temporarily,
invokes Kermit, and then when Kermit is finished, it renames the file
back to what it was.  The protocol tells Seyon to invoke seyon-kermit
with the appropriate arguments to be passed to Kermit.

This works for me, I hope it works for you equally well.
