I think what you have to do is send something like EBon (EchoBack on) in the
beginning to make it send responses... you can try this out with a terminal
emulation, except of course for the file transfer itself, which is a bit too
complex to do "by hand", even though the protocol is fairly primitive... :-)
I have some source code for a Unix / OS/2 file transfer program for the OmniGo
(written mostly by Asher Hoskins) on my Web page
http://ourworld.compuserve.com/homepages/mgroeber
which is quite a "bare-bones" implementation of the most important commands and
protocols. The protocol seems to have occasional problems with error recovery,
but it does work most of the time... :-)
