Don, Thanks for getting back to me. I went ahead and tried DL11 again with no luck, and then I tried DL1, and still no luck. The reason I see the capital c is because it takes a little while to get set up so I miss the first one, which cause it to display to my screen. I usually make it by the second capital c. Your system sends three capital c before giving up on crc, and going to 8 bit checksum. At that point my xmodem routine sends the block of data. While this is happening I look at the receive and transmit lights on my modem, and I can see the transmit light flickering as the xmodem routine sends the characters. At no time do I ever see the receive light flicker for the response character from your system. In the past when I have done this, I can easily see the response character from your system. So it's not a matter of my program locking up it's a matter of it never sees an ack or nack response, and therefore it keeps on waiting, until it times out after 30 seconds and aborts. It's as if your system is locking up. Also I have no problems uploading to one of the local BBS, and I haven't modified my terminal since the last five uploads that I did to DL11, which were printer drivers. Those uploads were perfect, a little slow but perfect. Maybe I'm wrong but it sure sounds like something is not right with your system. Thanks. Ed
