How do I change my protocol for u/dloading? When trying to download e I chose
Kermit at the prompt. Kermit didn't work, but I could not get the prompt again
to change protocols. Is there a way to change protocols once you have chosen
one? Thanks.
When you give the command DOW for download, you can add another command on the
same line, such as:
DOW PROTO:KERMIT or DOW PROTO:B+
and the system will change protocols when it receives that command.
If your term supports B protocols, they are much better for CIS. Kermit is
excellent, but slow compared to QuickB or B+.
Be sure you have set the same protocol in your terminal program as the one you
tell CIS to use.

you can only use xmodme.bplus protocol with compuserve
Thank you. Betty, I do not enter the DOW command. I am given a menu with a
choice to download. Then I am given about 6 protocol choices. Once I choose
one, I do not get the protocol choices again. Also, I have succesfully used
XModem and YModem. I tried Kermit, but I guess my version of Kermit didn't
work. I am using MagiCall on an Amiga 2000.
