New transfer tool for Linux: HPex

[ramon_ea1gth]

Dear Liam, I would like to remark this again: thank you for your software and your time to write it. For me, it's great to have again a connection tool available for Linux, after struggling with the intermittent glitches of hptalx. Great!

Yes, I read it. But I wanted to go straight to the risky tests ;-) However, the HP 50g test looks promising, as apparently Kermit starts the communication, so maybe there's a silly difference in an isolated packet that breaks the connection. Anyway, before going further, I will play with my hp 48gx to confirm that my Python setup works as expected, as I'm slightly out of some of the recommended requirements of HPex.

Code:

            # each element of each row is the name, size, type, and
            # crc in that order
            print(i)

This might give some insights into the output from Kermit.

Thanks for the hint Thomas and your comments! I will try it to gather some more information and report.
