This is my frist input on this network.  The feild service guys just got done installing all the eithernet cables into my office.  I have read the dox on this thing and I hope I dont make any errors, but please bear with me as its my frist real post on usenet.
 
I'm an employee at the University of Notre Dame located in Southbend Indiana.  Iwork for the computer center as a service repair technicition.  But in my spare time I run a Commodore 128 butiten board system from my home town called Niles Michigan.  The name of my BBS is "FLAG NET" and is running from a Commodore 128 at 2400 baud, 24 hours per day, and as been on line for the last three years.
 
I have NEVER in my life seen a terminal program that can handle Zmodem on a Commodore 64 or 128.  The protocal of choice is still PUNTER.  Xmodem works, but since its based on 128 byte blocks, when the file ends 1/2 way through a block, you end up with 128 extra bytes in your file!   Something kinda new is the Xmodem 1K protocol that works with CRC.  That seems to work very good.
 
IF you would like to call my BBS, the number is 616 683 7373.
We have Amiga Technical support, Commodore 64/128 repair service!
And a very good For Sale sections of commodore used parts and systems!
