Well, I've tried my hardest, and I can't get Novaterm to work with SZ. :-( With Novaterm set to XModem or XModem-1K, the 64 usually gets one block of the program, and then just sits there waiting forever and ever and ever! With Novaterm set to YModem, the 64 starts receiving, but eventually decides that it got a bad block somewhere and sits there waiting and waiting. For XModem/XModem 1K, I've been using "SX <filename>" on a Unix Box. For YModem, I've been using "SZ <filename>". Does anybody know why this doesn't work? Or better yet -- what do I have to do to get it to work? Please e-mail me any suggestions that you might have. Thanks! ---Joel Kolstad

Usually, I get a Bad Block, and after 10 tries or so DesTerm quits with a Transfer Failed or some such message. I have this theory that it is as a result of control characters being filtered out by terminal servers. I have to go through at least two, and maybe three (I really don't know), terminal servers to get to the Unix system here. It's crazy. At any rate, I did my best to convince two of the terminal servers to pass all control characters unscathed, but I still got errors. The only protocol I've gotten to work over this line is Kermit. Which is, of course, a 7-bit protocol. Oh well. -Rob Knop rknop@tybalt.caltech.edu

It doesn't matter what base you use (Amiga, C64/128, Mac), it just doesn't work. It works fine with other PC's. So the problem seems to be with the mainframes. Now my Problem. I'm about to lose the Amiga that I've been borrowing all year long. And now that I'm use to a good VT100 emulator, I want to download a good VT100 term program (suggestions/ftp sites?) for my C128. (The one that came with the 1670 really sucks!) The only transfer protocol that really works with the campus' mainframes is Kermit. (I want that in the VT100 emulator, as I don't have it.) Now the problem is how to get the term prog. from the mainframe to my 128 with the stuff that came with the 1670. Any ideas? (I'd like to pull this off without having to call long distance and transferring at 1200 baud. Yuck!)

Yuck!) > Well, Dester-128 V2.0 for the 128 has an excellent VT100 emulator, good ANSI and all that other good stuff.. and xmodem, ymodem, etc all work with unix xmodem and vms xmodem... Never had any problems.. so if you are going to get a good program, I highly recommend it. I believe that you can find this wonderful program at Milton.
