Our site has 7e1 for the word format. I've Now these are probably stupid suggestions, but I'll make 'em anyway.. Please tell me I'm wrong if I'm wrong, but don't laugh at either my suggestions or me.. (heh) (1) Have you tried LOGGING IN with 7e1 format then trying to download?! (i.e. your FORMAT setting in the dial parameter list is 7E1) (2) This one is more serious.. Are you RLOGGED in or TELNETTED in to the computer you're trying to download from? If so, it won't work, and it's not fair to blame it on ProTERM.. Actually if you do an rlogin -8 hostname, then it will work as it TELLS the UNIX system to use an 8 bit protocol and then you can still download.. I don't know of any trick like that for telnet.. Other than that, I don't have the foggiest idea why you people have so many problems (that's not meant as an insult)... I mean, if you're using BSD 4.2 or 4.3, it should all work fine... Oh yes, if sz doesn't work, try "xmodem sbyk ".. That will do Ymodem too.. Both sz (with -options to tell it to be ymodem) and xmodem sbyk have worked fine for me... Nobody answered my question why VT100 was so damn important either... just curious.. bye -- /Apple II(GS) Forever! unknown@ucscb.ucsc.edu MAIL ME FOR INFO ABOUT CHEAP CDs\ \WRITE TO ORIGIN ABOUT ULTIMA VI //e and IIGS!
