Where were you when I was asking before, then? :) What are the 5 DOS
telnet programs with Zmodem ul/dl capability? And can you make the
zmodem u/l work when you are totally in DOS? Just because there's
capability doesn't mean that every thing works as expected...
JW> Nancy...you lost me totally....what's the big deal here?
I'm using dos, pure dos, as Mark said... no windows, not a dos window
or any such but everything is purely dos programs and in dos.
Up until now, no matter what I tried, I couldn't make the zmodem uploads
work for me when I was telnetting, even though CONEX, which I use for
telnet does* have the capability built-in. Downloads worked just fine,
but for uploads I had to use kermit, which only seemed to work on
Wildcat boards besides... AND, everytime I asked people about it, no one
else had ever made zmodem uploads* work in pure DOS while telnetting.
So, it's a BIG deal to finally be able to upload, apparently anywhere,
as every bbs software I've had access to telnetting works just fine,
because it's finally fixed. :) <dancing a little jig>
