   <p>This is a simple program for file exchange between two parties. It allows you to send files over the network to your party while having a <kin href="http://kin.klever.net/T42/">T42</kin> or <product>Wintalk</product> conversation. It uses open sessions to determine IP address of your party. Also you may use it as a <term>TFTP</term> client/server by itself. To get/put files from/to <term>TFTP</term> server you need to enter host name/IP address manually in the <a href="#Request">Request Dialog</a>.</p>

   <p>You can customize <kin>PumpKIN</kin> sounds notifications here. There are three customizable sounds defined - <b>Incoming request</b>, which notifies you about incoming request prompt if you're set to be prompted whenever incoming request occurs. <b>xfer Aborted</b> - which happens to sound every time transfer is interrupted for whatever reason - time out, explicit kill, denied access, etc. <b>xfer Finished</b> means that your file was successfully transmitted.</p>

+  <p>You can slightly automate your access policies by setting up read/write request behavior for different incoming requests.</p>

+  <p>The rule consists of <b>request type</b>, source network (<b>ip</b> and <b>netmask</b>) and <b>action</b> to take (see also <a href="#ServerOptions">Server Options</a>).</p>

+  <p>When <kin>PumpKIN</kin> receives request it goes through the list of rules and bases its decision on the first matching rule. To rearrange order of rules, select the rule you wish to move and use up and down arrows buttons on the right. To remove rule, use the cross button.</p>

+  <p>To add a new rule fill in the information about <b>request type</b>, source <b>address</b> and <b>netmask</b> and desired action. Then click on the 'Add new rule' button.</p>

+  <p>If you wish to amend the rule, select it in the rules list, change parameters below and click the 'Replace rule' button.</p>
