My XModem seems to work but the file I get is shortened and corrputed. When something gets unzooed it gives the CRC error. Charlie Fineberg BITnet: FINEBERG@WUMS internet: fineberg@wums2.wustl.edu

Are you guys sure you're setting BINARY mode (in ftp as well as in
xmodem)? I've occasionally forgotten to do that, and the symptoms
were the same (shortened files, CRC errors, etc).

I finally got a zmodem/ymodem/xmodem package installed on the system here at work (Sun/Unix network). I was very happy at the prospect of dumping kermit (too slow) for zmodem. Unfortunately, it seems that the zmodem in my version of JRcomm .94a and the zmodem in the Unix package (sz) don't want to talk. I have tried several attempts to download files, but the d/l never gets off the ground. When I issue sz -b <file> from the Unix prompt, JRcomm pulls up the zmodem d/l popup (good), but from there it just piles up errors and then fizzles to a halt and aborts. Now, before I get lots of mail about my zmodem setup, I have tried both 7 and 8 bit transfer and the file transfer type is binary. I tried to use the xmodem send (sx) and got similar results. Anybody out there know about this problem? I'd rather not try to solve the problem if someone already has a fix/suggestion. Thanks in advance for any help on this one!

The problem turned out to be a networking problem. The zmodem package was installed on one of the Sun servers which I access all day long at work. Unfortunately, remote access from my house goes through a different machine which is not a Sun. This meant rlogging into my W/S to access the zmodem package. Apparently the two programs don't talk when there is an intermediate rlogin or telnet to another machine (probably obvious to some, but not immediately to me). Anyhow, I copied the package to the gateway server, recompiled them package, and voila! Perfect 228 char/sec performance with zmodem (I have never been so happy). Much thanks to those that e-mailed me with suggestions.
