| Description: | Here at work we have an old mainframe running an xmodem assembler routine. The mainframe is connected to a modem pool by means of a router. We can access the xmodem mainframe routine by means of the router's ip address. The following snippets can be used to receive and send a file from or to the mainframe. |
