I have been using sterm 1.2 with some real success now.  But its only binary
protocol of CIS B is quite restrictive:  where can you use it BUT on CIS.  I
have obtained a program called xydown which will allow file transfers in Xmodem
or Ymodem.  Xydown must be called from a terminal program; it is not a
stand-alone program.  I tried to use the Shell option in sterm to run xydown
when I wanted to download a file.  After the disk drive finished spinning, I
saw the message "Sterm back online".  The host (which was a local BBS) timed
out with no bytes transferred.  Is there a bug with sterm's Shell option, or
perhaps is it restricted  somehow as to how it may be used?  Also, as long as
sterm supports receiving in CIS B, does it also support sending in that
protocol?
