Can anyone recommend a communications program that works reliably for sending large graphics files (more than 1.3 MB TGA compressed then zipped?). We are using an aged version of Flashlink, identical 9600 baud MNP modems on both ends, and we usually use the Ymodem or Ymodem-Batch-G protocol. We never have a problem with large text files, but do have difficulties with anything larger than a basic GIF file in the realm of graphics. Someone suggested Z-modem is a better protocol for graphics, but it's not an option with our old software. Any recommendations for new software? We would like something that has some kind of unattended batch capacity – so we could just start the process late at night, and it would automatically disconnect. Please don't suggest going via CIS! <BG> Our CIS bill last month was over $75 – not in the budget!!! 🙁 (Whatever WinCIM uses has worked fine on my end for downloading from this forum, but I haven't downloaded any single graphics file as big as we need to send). Thanks in advance for the help! Gayle G de N
