 Hello Paul,
 
 FM> BTW, what a fuckup tonight! at 15630 we got "Bad CRC",
then "Garbage
 FM> count exceeded". The latter continued at intervals of 3776 or 3520
 FM> bytes
 FM> all the way to the end (125000 or so), with the bits in the middle

 PE> It was probably a bad line, but there are two other *possibilities*.
 PE> 1. I was testing zmodem receive with another copy of Binkley.
 PE> 2. I upped by baud rate to 115200 instead of 57600, by changing to
 PE> SIO.  I will be changing back to 38400 some time soon.  BFN.

 Interestingly, I had the same or similar problem last night 
 (15 th), but the errors started from the very first block. I had 
 to abort after 5 mins, and only 3k or so was received. A retry 
 after about a minute was OK and I received the entire packet 
 OK. Sorry about the dupes though.
 
 Dieter
