I just downloaded the Zmodem files for the unix side from Sumex and after a little trouble compiled them. My problem is that when I type in sz (or sx or sb for that matter) filename, it starts up the recieve window on Zterm nicely and transmits the file name, type, creator and size but then _NOTHING_ happens ! Eventually the Mac times out after about 5 minutes. Is there anyone out there who can see what I'm doing wrong or who has had success with the same commands before or who can tell me the address of the guy who wrote them ?? (please) Kermit is _SO_ slow :-( Thanks Dave. -- | Dave White | This is the part where I say that when I | | jww502@csc2.anu.edu.au | say what I say, I say what I say without | |__________________________| meaning that I say anything for the | | Computer Services Centre or that I say anything for John W.

Is there anyone out there who can see what I'm doing wrong or who has hadsuccess with the same commands before or who can tell me the address of This sounds very familiar to an experience I had with XMODEM v3.8. This program was originally written I belive by Brian Kantor, UCSD (3/84) and then repeatedly modified by various people to include zmodem,modem7, CRC error checking, and a whole bunch of bug fixes. The information I have asks that any additional comment be sent to: Steve Grandi, National Optical Astronomy Observatories (Tucson, Arizona) {ihnp4,ncar,arizona,...}!noao!grandi grandi@noao.arizona.edu Any how I fixed the problem with the symptoms you describe by makeing sure I was using an 8bit, no parity, 1 stop bit configuration on the tty port. It seems that if you use 7 bit the program just hangs and the "_NOTHING_ happens !. I never did have time to look at the source and determine why this is but I hope you find this helpful. If anyone out there in net.land can shed some light on this please post . . . +------------------------------+--------------------------------------+ + Keith Wilcox + Internet: agt!kwilcox@cs.Ualberta.CA + + Technical Support Specialist + UUCP: alberta!agt!kwilcox + + AGT Research & Development + Voice: (403) 493-3051 + + 500 Capitol Square + Fax: (403) 493-4277 + + 10065 - Jasper Ave + + + Edmonton, Alberta CAN + + + T5J-3B1 + + +------------------------------+--------------------------------------+ -- +------------------------------+--------------------------------------+ + Keith Wilcox + Internet: agt!kwilcox@cs.Ualberta.ca + + Technical Support Specialist + UUCP: alberta!agt!kwilcox +

(yeah right) thanx in advance... Darryl Lee UC Santa Barbara
