I need some advice from anyone who has successfully used JRComm with an MNP5 modem to communicate with a UNIX host (specifically 4.3BSD). My UNIX host has the utilities: SZ, RZ, Xmodem (which includes YModem) and Kermit. I am also running JRComm 1.01 and a Baud Bandit MNP5 modem. The modem on the UNIX accepts a 2400/REL5 connection, but I experience constant TIMEOUT errors when attempting any sort of transfer. Can anyone who has had experience with this type of communication provide guidance? Thanks- -- | Robert E.

No, this isn't another message about somebody that has a problem with JrComm and blames Jack for creating non-existent bugs. The problem I have is with the ZModem downloads using a Unix 'sz' command. If I type "sz <file> <file> <file>" or "sz *" (meaning, send everything in the current directory), I will only recieve the first file and the other will be skipped and I return to my command prompt. If I type "sz <file> ; sz <file> ; sz <file>", I will sometimes recieve the first and last file, with the second being skipped, but usually just the first file. Interestingly, when I do the "sz <file> <file> <file>", Unix will *say* "3 files requested", but I only get one of the three. I have sat and watched what happens between files, and basically, it just sits. The file window that was put up by the first send disappears and doesn't come back. If I select menu item "Download file", it will start recieving the second file, but this is far from auto-download, or batch download. It's like JrComm is missing the ZModem start signal, or whatever. I'm using JrComm V1.02 on an Amiga 1000 w/2 drives, 1.5 Megs, and a 1200 baud modem. Has anybody else had this/solved this problem? I tried deselecting "download challenge" and it had no effect. For that matter, I've tryed deselecting and selecting many different combinations of things, all to no avail. Any help would be appreciated. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Tony Poole Traverse City, MI USA EMail:tony@irie.ais.org ____________________________________________________________________________

This won't be of much help to you but I can let you know that I use JR-Comm to access this Unix site and have had no problems with batch downloading, either using "sz *" nor "sz filename1 filename2 filename3". Sounds like you have tried all the settings so I would assume the problem is with the version of sz you are using on the Unix machine or the way it is set up. I use JR-Comm 1.02 (registered) on an A500. -- //////////////////////////////////\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\ / garyweir@netcom.COM or {apple, amdahl, claris}!netcom!garyweir \ / T.O.G.A.

Same here! If I send more than one file, it only does the first one. But, sometimes it works. Sometimes it doesn't. It's really odd. If any- one figures it out, drop me a line.

I'm using JR-Comm V1.01 on an Amiga 500 w/2 drives, 1 Meg and a 2400 baud modem, and mutliple file transfers work fine for me. I just dropped out of rn and typed "sz q?" (which matched 5 files), and they all got transferred quite nicely. It *could* be something weird with V1.02, but my guess is that's not too likely. If you have V1.01, try that. Also try another term program that has ZModem. That should give you a good idea if it's really JR-Comm or sz. -- Dave Schaumann | Notice that the word "spam" does not occur *once* in this /\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\| message -- er, that is, except for that one time, you can't \/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/| find "spam" in this post.

I don't have a solution to your problem but I do have some suggestions as to what you could look into. I am using sz 3.11 02-26-91 from Omen Tech. and on my Amiga I am using Atalk-III or Handshake. With these combinations I have no problems downloading from our system. Check to see what version of sz is on your system and if it is from Omen Technology. Just enter sz and it should tell you. > > >---------------------------------------------------------------------------- >Tony Poole Traverse City, MI USA EMail:tony@irie.ais.org >____________________________________________________________________________ -- Darrell Grainger % Comspec Communications Inc., Toronto, Ontario, Canada darrell@comspec % Disclaimer: All opinions expressed are my own.

Granted, but this thread was started on ZMODEM upload problems from JR-Comm to some other system. Your particular problem sounds like it is the sz program itself. Which version of the sz source was used? -jack-

Huh? I started this thread with a fresh topic. It wasn't a follow-up. > Your particular problem sounds like it is the sz program itself. Which >version of the sz source was used? Well, when I type sz without any parameters, it gives me all the usual optional parameter stuff, and then at the very bottom, prints this: sz 1.36i 1-24-91 for V7/BSD by Chuck Forsberg Now, this 1.36i, if it is a version number is way smaller than the 3.11 that someone else cited as being the most recent update, but the date, 1-24-91, isn't *that* long ago.
