So we all know its ProTERM I guess. >But Zmodem with ProTERM works fine going to another micro! Well... I know that ProTerm doesn't support a FULL zmodem (I understand that zmodem gives options like restarting an interupted transfer, and a lot of other options). I heard somewhere that zmodem is supposed to be able to handle 7 bit transfers, it is possible that this feature is also not supported in ProTerm's zmodem transfer. I don't know much about the innards of zmodem, maybe someone else can enlighten us all.. -- Warren Baird, 2A Co-op Math Computer Science, U(Waterloo) wjbaird@dahlia.uwaterloo.ca ...utzoo!watmath.uwaterloo.edu!dahlia!wjbaird An elephant is a mouse with an operating system.
