Dear Sysop: I seem to be having serious amounts of difficulty uploading to your data libraries, DL11 to be exact. To answer your first question, yes I have successfully upload several files to Compuserve with no problems, with the same software, and when your system was under even greater load. Also before and after my numerous tries I have successfully uploaded to a local BBS. I'm using xmodem with crc-16 error detection, at 300 baud. What happens is that your system sends me a capital c which starts me sending, so far so good. After I send the first block there is no response from your system, I can tell by watching my modem lights. Your system is supposed to send me an ack or nack character after I send the full block. After 30 seconds of nothing my xmodem aborts and I have no choice but to hang up, because the system doesn't realize that there is a problem. I really don't like to hangup on your system, but it won't let me regain control. Ed
