Well, yes. Before telnet, I was able to do zmodem transfers both ways
no problem. That was dial-up, and yes, pure DOS... I STILL am not
using any form of Windows for my bbsing, and now have to do it all via
telnet. It was the *combination* of factors - purely DOS, telnet, and
zmodem uploads - that no longer worked. With the new TNPORT to connect
Conex to the bbs, I now AM able to again* do zmodem uploads, in telnet,
like I used to do all the time for dial-up.
