[comp.sys.amiga] Problems with VT100r2.9a

new@udel.edu (Darren New) (03/01/90)

Am I doing something wrong?   I'm trying to get VT100 to talk to
SZ and RZ (the versions in the VT100r2.9 zoo file) and it GURUs
every time I enter a local file name after invoking the SEND menu
item.  It task-helds and stomps 00FFC??? into location 0x10 after I hit
return in the requester. The appropriate line from my init file
says

EXTERNAL Zmodem "sz @LOCAL" "rz"

I expect it is something I'm doing.  I would really like to make
this work since my mainframe does not support the 1K kermit packets
and is brutally slow.         -- Darren

I use the following:

EXTERNAL ZModem "sz -QL 1024 I @LOCAL" "rz -QI"


Works just fine for 1024 downloads here on Portal (which supports ZModem).
Uploads go at 256 blocks  and I haven't figured out why yet.  The 'I'
parameter tells sz and rz to find things like baud rate in the zmodem.init
file.  I need this because I run at 1200 Baud not 2400.

HOpe this helps.
