[comp.sys.apple2] Why won't y-modem downloads work on GEnie

sharris@brahms.udel.edu (Scott A Harris) (04/28/91)

The subject line says it all really.  I try to download from GEnie 
in y-modem and it initiates the send and recieve commands fine but
when the status bar comes up it keeps telling me that the blocks 
are being timed out.  I have it set up on Readylink to recieve 
y-modem with relaxed timing, and all the other settings work on x-modem
The same holds true for AWGS.  The settings work fine for x-modem
but when I try y-modem I just keep getting errors. Any one out there
have any ideas?  Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks 
Scott

I do not know but y-modem from Genie does work for me; I use it all
the time. I use Point-to-Point and a Supra 2400 modem.
