To Betty Clay 76702,337 Subject:attepted download of ap.lha For almost three
hours I have tried using every protocol I can acess. First log on with Ymodem.
There were 4 CRC errors,whatever they are, then at block 400 the system just
died as it did before. Next log on with B+. No result. Messsage was failure
during protocol initialisation. Next log on with QuickB. Same result. Next log
on with Kermit. Fails with message unexpected packet type. Next log on with
Xmodem. No errors as far as it went, but at block548, bytes 70144, and ten mins
elapsed time the system died again. This makes my previous message concerning
protocol research more valid Perhaps I should upload the library files on my
NComm disc so that your experts can compare them to what you have at your end.
Is that an option?p
Peter,
I wish I could be of help, but I just cannot answer your question. I don't
know why you are having these problems. Others have downloade AP.LHA using
various protocols: B, B+, QuickB, YModem, XModem, Kermit – all have worked. I
haven't a clue as to why it is not working for you. I wish I did….but I
don't.

Betty,
You probably know–why is there no Zmodem transfer protocol available here on
CompuServe (perhaps because they have "Quick B"?)
..I miss ZModem's file transfer resume feature quite a bit..

Greg, I don't know why CIS chose not to support ZModem, but B+ protocols
support the resume feature, making it just as good.
—Betty
Fine if only these B prots would work.
Peter, the B protocols work beautifully if you have things set up right and
have software that supports them. I've used ZModem extensively on bulletin
boards. It is no better than BPlus protocols. I wish I knew what is wrong in
your setup, but I just haven't been able to think of a reason for your
problems.

I wish you could too. At least X & Y did get going. I have since found that
there is a problem locally with water in the phone junctions so the techs are
going in to try repairs somewhere. Buth the other prots didn't even get off the
blocks. Can't send them to Aytlanta [D [D [D
Peter,
I started off with NComm. Forget the research, and persevere with xmodem till
you get AP and LHA132.run to unarc it. I know the frustration that you are
going through, I've been there. Xmodem is slow but will get you there in the
end, even if it takes a few goes. BTW compuserve's literiture said to set the
bits at 7. This is wrong it should be 8. I dont know if anybody warnd you about
that.

Chips with everything!!!
Yes I was advised. I set at 8-n-1
