I got that part fixed, it was because that syncterm didn't start auto zmodem
download and my zmodem timed out before you could manually start the
download. The characters seen were from the menu.

But it still doesn't work, but it does a bit more. The file header is
exchanged and then syncterm doesn't get the file blocks. I suspect crc
errors but the messages scroll away too fast.

Is there a better way to see syncterm's debug output?

I also saw that it doesn't work with sz/rz and I know this is supposed to
work. It all could be something in the underlying ttyio drivers that makes
the two programs to refuse to work together.


Rob, is the zmodem in syncterm the same as the source in sbbs? I only got a
binary distribution of syncterm. I must confess that I didn't really look if
the source was available somewhere.
