#downloads
To Amiga Users board. My mis-adventures with downloading. To start with, I was
using 7-N-1 as my set up as this is what was advised to me locally when I first
joined Compuserve. Many failed attempts later, and after some message/reply
sessions with Sysop Betty Clay 76702,337 in Communications I am now on 8-n-1.
However downloading still fails. The last attempt did get further than before
but the system aborted itself after 45mins with the message Too Many
Retransmissions. I am using an Amiga500 with spare 2.5meg free memory. WB
settings for serial are 8-n-1 at 19200baud. Comm.pr. is NComm3.0 settings also
8-n-1 on Xmodem protocol. I acess Compuserve at 2400baud as the com.pr. has no
facility for the higher line of 14400baud. This com.pr.also has no facility to
strip-high-bit which was recommended by Sysop B.C. The choice of protocol
Zmodem is not in the library setup.??? All this in an effort to download the
Autopilot file from the AmigaVendor libraries. Can anybody in Amigaland advise
me on what I am missing?
