Joe; Your handshaking between the modem and the computer is probably not working. Another thing can affect the performance and that is buffer size. ZModem has "preferences" settings (different programs implement this differently so you'll have to check the telcom program itself but you can also create a set up file for ZModem "XPRZModem" in envarc: with a line something like this: TC,ON,B10,F0,E10,AY,DN,KY,SN,RN,PCDC:DOWN Besure to change the default download path to the correct place (RAM rather than DOWN?). The important term is the third one (B10). This sets the buffer size. If you set this too big then AmigaDOS will ignore the modem for too long a period of time when it tries to write out the buffer and this can cause data loss (if handshaking is not working). I am not convinced that C= has the serial.device working correctly yet. -bill
