I was downloading ap.lha using Ymodem. At block 143,bytes 146432, the data,dcd and oh lights on my modem went out and the whole system died. I have had to re-log-on to be able to do this message. The portion received will be saved to my dh1. Please advise what causes this problem and will I have to start from scratch or just from where it cut out

Peter, I don't know what caused your system to quit during a download but I suspect you'll have to start over from scratch again with the d/load. Sorry you had problems. Asha @}–,–`–

So am I. I am setting up a test program to research the protocols on NComm. The full message on this will be adressed to Betty Clay but no doubt anyone can access it for information.

Peter, Many things could have caused the problem with your download – faulty phone lines, a problem in your computer, or in CompuServe's computer – lots of different things. If you can use B+ protocols, the download can restart at the place where you left off. Othewise, it will have to start all over again. I'm sorry you had problems. —Betty

I'm glad you said IF. When you have read my other messages you'll see what I mean.

>If you can use B+ protocols, the download can restart at the place where you left off.< Hallo Betty, thats new to me. If I have a crash during a download, AP starts everytime from the beginning. I was wondering about this, because with several mailboxes it works as you discribed. How can I make shure that AP is using the B+ protocols or have you any suggestion what the fault can be? Regards >>>Volker

Volker, AutoPilot may be starting the downloads over again – but B+ protocols are quite capable of re-starting. If you want to re-start a download, have you tried it in HandsOn? And AutoPilot definitely uses BPlus protocols as default. —Betty
