Hello Wayne - 

--8<--cut 

WC> Thanks but turned out I needed to select ANSI instead of
WC> VT100 and select zmodem instead of zclobber. 

I _think_ at BBBS sites you need to turn the VT100 back on
again?

I had the rename working for NetTerm zmodem then fiddled with
it and lost that somehow. The rename should be the default for
all terminals using zmodem IMO. 

WC> Packets don't seem to auto-rename sequentially with
WC> Hyperterminal. Been a long time since I setup all this sort
WC> of stuff and a new machine, operating system and all. 

Reset of message pointers on aborted or failed zmodem attempts
is a flaw in the BBS software. Nothing a terminal app can do
about that one way or the other really.
