  FTP over serial line (PPP)? 
 The Question is:
 
I have a modem connected to the AXP 1000,
OVMS v7.1. on the serial port.
Can I use FTP to transfer files across or I
 need to use KERMIT?  Where do I get KERMIT
 from?
 
Thanks.
 
 The Answer is:
 
  FTP can be used over a serial line connection when a PPP-capable version
  of TCP/IP Services for OpenVMS (UCX) or equivalent third-party IP package
  is installed and configured.  Information on PPP is included in OpenVMS
  V7.1 and later, in the directories:
 
    SYS$COMMON:[SYSHLP.EXAMPLES.PPPD...]
 
  For information on Kermit, please see the OpenVMS Frequently Asked
  Questions (FAQ).
