Ed, The Xmodem part of the transfer is between your terminal program and CIS. A node knows nothing about it the protocol, and simply passes data between you and the host. One possible source of the problem could be that for whatever reason (hardware problem in the node?) the node may be passing only 7 bits. This would explain being able to talk to CIS (all ASCII characters are 7 bits), yet it would hose up a protocol transfer, which needs 8 bits. I'm not sure, but I think that local communication charges are always in place. They are an expense inurred by CIS and are merely passed on to you. If I am wromng about this, Steve or Don will undoubtedly jump in with a correction. Regards, Larry.
