Hmm...  That could explain a few things... :)

It appears to be worse, actually, in DOS.  We haven't found anything at
all yet in DOS that works completely for zmodem uploads.

 BC> For more on DOS telnetting contact Craig Healy at Chowdanet.  At one
 BC> time he was using somesort of utility that allowed him to telnet with
 BC> Telix for DOS.

When I first started using Chowdanet, I (and my wizard hubby) did
discuss this all with Craig...  The best we could do was to make sure
that there was a working kermit there for my uploads... :)
