545.0. "NOVICE HELP ***" by CESARE::PIOVANO () Mon Jul 24 1989 11:30

    
    I'm a new ATARI 1040ST user and I have a little problem.
    In what manner can I dowload file for my ATARI from the E-NET.
    
    I suppose that the computer (ATARI) should be connected to
    terminal server port via serial connector & cable. But for
    work properly, I think that must be a program running on
    ATARI. 
    Is this exact ?
    And if yes, what is the appropriate program and where it can be
    founded ?
    
    If anyone can help me, I'm gracefully for every my life (and so,
    if is possible...)
    
    Many thanks & kiss.

Oh boy!  A new Atari user!

Start by reading PRNSYS::DUA1:[LOMICKAJ.HOBBY.ST]XFERINTRO.TXT, it
covers some of the most important facts and pitfalls, and directs you
toward the needed programs for file transfer.

Also, putting in a plug for my own work, read topic 3 about "Whack". 
Whack's file ST to/from VMS file transfer is the fastest around -
typically 204bytes/sec of error checked binary data on a 2400 baud line.

Someday I'm going to write a Whack user manual...
