Does anyone know how to use the SupraModem 2400+ with Zmodem? I have been able to use it fine with Ymodem-G for downloading, but there is no version of Ymodem-G that supports uploading. The fastest protocol I know of that does support uploading is Zmodem, yet I can't make it work with the modem. My modem is connected at 9600 BPS to the computer as the manual says it should, and I have Interlink set up to use RTS/CTS Flow Control. It works fine online. When I try to download something, I execute RZ 3.0 and that seems to work okay. When I use SZ, though, I get superfast sending for a while and then it repositions itself to 1K offset. It repeats the fast sending for a while, and then repositions itself to 2K offset. It continues in this manner until I abort. Ymodem uploads (from Interlink) work okay, but they are *SLOW*. I think the problem has to do with no Flow Control support in Zmodem, but I get a smilar problem with DTerm. I have Tos 1.4. I also tried installing a program called Turbo CTS (it had no docs, but what harm could it do?) with no affect. I hope someone can help me out with this problem. << ---------------------------------- >> << ersys!mforget@nro.cs.athabascau.ca >> << mforget@ersys.edmonton.ab.ca >> << Michel Forget >> << "He's dead, Jim..." - Bones >> << ---------------------------------- >>

There is a bug in tos 1.4 that will stop rts/cts flow control. -- *** Roger W.
