I have tried every program I have attempting to download files off my local UNIX machines using x-modem, Y-modem batch, and now z-modem. This includes zterm, freeterm, and MicroPhone II. All of them will get a little way through the download, then fail, with all sorts of nasty errors, like timeouts, CRC failures, etc. These same files, however, download fine using kermit (Just slow as heck! I just got a 2400 baud modem and want to be able to make use of the increased speed). I have a mac 512e with 2 MB, and a new SUPRA 2400 modem. Please e-mail. Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance...

I am using rzsz on the UNIX side (though I don't know what version), what are you using. Also, do you have MacBinary set on or off and what about such things as your CRC setting (on/off) and your timeout time... +---------------------------------+-----------------------------------+ + Leonard Rosenthol + fact, then again you might decide+ + President, LazerWare, inc. + that it really isn't, so you + + + never know, do you?? + + leonardr@uxe.cso.uiuc.edu + + + GEnie: MACgician + MacNET: MACgician + + Delphi: MACgician + AppleLink: D0025 + +---------------------------------+-----------------------------------+
