subject: Zmodem upload trouble

JF> I'm having trouble getting my modem to upload files; the problem seems

 JF> to be specific to my modem/computer setup.



 JF> My modem is a Maestro Executive 144FM.



 JF> Whenever I upload using Zmodem or any other protocol it constantly needs

 JF> to resend the data.  This happens with any BBS/modem I call, and using

 JF> every terminal program I could lay my hands on... Terminate, Telix,

 JF> Telemate, Communiqu‚, as well as the IceZmodem external protocol.



 JF> The weirdest thing is, downloading works perfectly, and I get an average

 JF> CPS rate of 1650-1700 bps (it's a 14400 modem).



 JF> Can anyone tell me what's going on?

 JF> Thanks in advance...



You modem (and maybe your software as well) has been set to use Software

Flow Control and should be setup to only use Hardware Flow Control.

Easy mistake and easily fixed.



Certainly takes you by suprise then you come across the strange

behaviour, doesn't it.
