My Understanding is that the zmodem problems in most cases can be
alleviated if using George Hatchews cexyz zmodem or fexyz? ( I forgot off
the top of my head what the name of the other z-modem protocol is ) but
there is something about the time slicing, I believe. Anyway systems
using Georges protocol have less problems than regular z. I know a lot
of systems even stopped file areas as there was too many problems. Oddly
most BW doors come with cexyz already installed as the main protocol.
