Could someone tell me where I can find a Zmodem that is capable of supporting 7-bit paths? Thanks, Bobby Li Internet E-mail me at TT3X@VAX5.CIT.CORNELL.EDU

The version on our system is '1.44', whatever the date works out as. When I transfer files, my ZCOMM detects the 7-bit path, and tells the other end to switch to 7-bit mode. In extreme cases, the -e option on either end will force the transfer to take place as if the line were 7-bit (I know, the throughput slows from 230cps to 180cps at 2400 baud!). I am using the latest ZCOMM (March 90). Ed Williams ewilliam@blackbird.afit.af.mil

The disk includes an .EXE version of DSZ which allows tranfers over 7-bit paths. -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Santanu Sircar BITNET: ssircar@umaecs.bitnet University of Massachusetts/Amherst INTERNET: ssircar@ecs.umass.edu |------------------------------------------------------------------------------| "A pig ate his fill of acorns under an oak tree and then started to root around the tree.
