#HELP!! Uploading

HELP!!
I can't UpLoad to CIS.
First of all, I have no problems downloading.
I am in Canada. I call an 800 number datapac port. This port gets me to
iNet 2000, a Telecom Canada service. From here I can get to CIS, thru
datapac, then I imagine thru tymnet.
I do the ^P PROF <ret> SET 2:1 <ret> <ret> stuff okay.
Using two different programs. Using StarTerm 3.01, set up 8 bits, CRC
Xmodem, relaxed timing, no stripping, after a couple of blocks are sent
the upload box seems to disappear and I haven't the slightest idea what kind
of mode the terminal program is in. It should say Xmodem transfer Aborted,
but it didn't. (works very good for downloads as long as I don't have any
errors).
Using VT-100 V2.4 from here also. It takes forever. Have it sent to image
transfer, then choose xmodem upload. This program must have been sending
each block up to 5 times in a row before it gets a response out of CIS. I
swear that it must have taken me 5 minutes to upload 5 blocks, so called it
quits on the transfer. I know CIS time is free, but Datapac and iNet are
not, and together are about the same as CIS fees. I can't use this terminal
program for downloading because its timing isn't relaxed enough.
I was trying to upload this morning around 10AM Eastern time and the system
didn't seem slow.
Any help would be appreciated, as I would like to upload my printer drivers
and don't really want to try another terminal program until NovaComm is
available.

Kelly,
I gather the string to set the parameters in your last message was a typo,
and that you really meant ^P PROF 3 <ret>
Another possible source of your problem _might_ be (how's that for definite?)
the escape character that gets you back to iNET. I think it defaults to a
backslash (\), and is settable. I remember changing mine, but I don't remember
what I changed it to.
I will be in Toronto all next week, and if you can get down there at all, I
would be happy to give you Aterm (or any other stuff you might want out of our
library). If I remember correctly you aren't too far from Barrie??
Regards, Larry.
Larry,
I thought I said ^P PROF 3 <ret> SET 2:1 <ret> <ret> Maybe I shouldn't do
the SET bit, since your datapac.hlp file says it turns echo back on. Is
this echo only for when doing the datapac commands, or does it effect CIS?
I can't see it being my iNet escape sequence, since I made it a few
characters longer, actually three \ in a row and I don't think there are much
odds in getting that in any uploads, though possible. Pretty sure not iNet
getting in the way.
Barrie – I am about as far from there as I am from TO. Must be at least 500
miles from here to TO, I think the actual driving distance is much more, so
I guess we can assume an eye ball is out of the question!! I am in Marathon,
which is about half way between Thunder Bay and Sault St. Marie. Thunder
Bay is at least three hours driving, the Soo four (never been there yet).
When I go to Thunder Bay, I always (so far) have gone there, do my business,
and am back the same day!
I have one thing left to try, and that is my good old SeXy-64 and the term
pgm I got with the 1670 modem. Will I just tried using the SeXy-64 using
both B and XModem (the vt100 program does have a problem on xmodem send –
every block had to be sent 5 times when sending it to the 64) XModem timed
out, as CIS didn't seem to respond after the 9th block sent. B sent two
blocks (maybe three) then seemed to just sit there waiting for CIS to
respond again. Again I will try it in the morning, but at this time, I
gotta say the problem is CIS with the 64.
