Finally getting back to this, as I work my way slowly through the
backlog of message packets...  

 NB> Interesting...  I can use Zmodem to download anything from a telnet
 NB> bbs, but nothing* but kermit has worked for uploads.  I keep hoping
 NB> that someone has figured out a way for Zmodem to work for telnet
 NB> uploads when strictly in DOS, but it doesn't appear that that will be
 NB> the case... 
 BC> I have been watching this discussion about Zmodem and telnet.  I have

 BC> telnet in windows.
 MR> My Understanding is that the zmodem problems in most cases can be
 MR> alleviated if using George Hatchews cexyz zmodem or fexyz? ( I forgot

But are you talking about using this as the bbs user, or as the bbs
sysop?

 MR> off the top of my head what the name of the other z-modem protocol is )
 MR> but there is something about the time slicing, I believe. Anyway

And I think that time slicing may be* part of the problem...

 MR> systems using Georges protocol have less problems than regular z. I
 MR> know a lot of systems even stopped file areas as there was too many
 MR> problems. Oddly most BW doors come with cexyz already installed as the
 MR> main protocol. 

So, you are* talking about the bbs end, not my end?  Don't forget,
despite my apparent knowledge, I'm still only a sorceror's apprentice
working with only partially understood magic spells....
