[] Help! I just tried upgrading to VLT 5.034 last nite, and ran into a problem with the external ZModem protocol. Downloads worked fine, but uploading was a complete failure. Nothing would happen for maybe 30 seconds; then the filename would appear in the window (normal), and the upload, one might suppose, would begin. It did not. Nothing happens for maybe another minute, then packets start moving, but not many, and none are successfully received. If allowed to sit long enough (another minute or more), a retry would begin, but is never successful. I tried with both the 2.00 and 2.10 versions of XPRZModem; same results. I tried both an explicit "rz" command on the UNIX end, and letting my machine initiate the "rz"; same results. I tried two different UNIX machines running rz/sz; same results. I eventually went back to my old VLT (4.4something), and everything was again fine, with either version of XPRZModem. I'm running an A1000 under 1.3, Telebit T1000 modem. Anybody have any idea what's going on? - From the Crow's Nest - Kenn Barry ---------------------------------------------------------------- ELECTRIC AVENUE: barry@netcom.com OR apple!netcom!barry

Same thing happens to me i can Send FROM Unix---> AMiga with Zmodem but not From Amiga--> Unix. I have no idea how to fix this, but apparently it only works 1 way. Thus i use Kermit to go AMi->Uni. But seems somthing odder is happening with you. COuld there be a "newer" version of rz/sz on Unix that you should be using? . -- yorkw@ecn.purdue.edu Willis F York (Hope THIS sig don't insult anyone!)
