I have had the same problem with DesTerm 1.02, and since others out there have
had some problems with Umodem, I think it is the ftp of each of our host node.
I spoke with our system op about this and he informed me that he thought he had
removed umodem (xmodem ftp because it was old and most pc's have a newer
version of Xmodem.  Although others here at U of Toledo have gotten umodem to
work, I have not to date.  So if youcan find an older version of xmodem (I
really do not have a date in mind) you might have some luck.  

Hope this helps.

I7ve found desterm 1.02, dialogue128 and other 128 term programs such as proterm to be riddled with problems. I cannot download with 2400 from any BBS with any of these terms <well, I never tried dialgue but the buffer save/load commands dont work>

ccgms 7.0 works very nicely but 11.0 should have the Xmodem bug fixed

Maybe you can go into a bit more detail with your problems.  I've been using
DesTerm 1.02 for about 4 months now, with no problems downloading.  (Uploading
with a 1581 had a problem that has apparently been licked in version 2.0)

Might you be choosing the wrong type of Xmodem for the transfer?

Just for the record, I have NEVER had any problems downloading using DesTerm
1.02 xmodem. (That is when I download in true xmodem) But if youget some older
commodore bbs programs, their xmodem usually leaves alot to be desired. I've
seen what some call xmodem not even resembling the handshake for xmodem. 

So I hope noone was discouraged from using Desterm 1.02 because indeed it has
proved to be the best terminal program I have seen for c128.

Ok, I said earlier I had problems with Desterm 1.02. I'll be more specific here
1st- i use only Punter Xfers, and I'm using a 2400 baud modem <on my 128D, I'm
using a supra interface and a Microcom AX/2400c modem...>
when I attempted to upload via punter or via Ascii, it failed, miserably.
anyway, I stick primarily with ccgms V7.0 since it works nicely and I dont have 
color 80 cols <using a b/w cable for 80 cols> 
oh, i forgot to mention, I have had horrific problems on Cnet 4.0 systems with
2400 baud. Downloads are fine but multi downloads fail, no matter what
term program I use. On Image 1.2 systems, or any other BBS program, ccgms
gives me no problems. its just on the Cnet 128 V4.0

Ok..had to say something here..the CCGMS 6.01 is the LATEST version (viable 
version) that was let out..thoug the 8.8 will work on those 128s that have 
problems with the 6.01..I found one titled CCGMS ELITE V1.0...this one has 
the 2400 Baud routines fixed in it...it IS the 6.01, just the 2400 routines 
work better...I used the 6.01 to Multi-Down out of a CNet 128 V4.0 system all 
the time...at 1200...now using my IMAGE term from my system to MD from 
systems at 2400...Modem is the Aprotek C24/2400 baud modem...and have had 
some success using the CCGMS ELITE with it...you might try and locate the 
program and see if it will work better with your modem....

about the ccgms versions,
V10.0 or 11.0, one of those has the Xmodem bug fixed. unfortunately there is
a V17.0 with no real improvements in it.
