Does anybody know of any PD terminal programs that support Z-Modem? I have been using vt100 (on comp.sources/binaries.amiga) and it supports Kermit well! It would be nice if it could also support Z-Modem. Has anybody seen source to this protocol, or any term programs that use it? - Thanks. > If you have only a 7-bit connection, you will need to do something > different.

One important note, if you are sending binary files via kermit, you may need to give the command "SET FILE TYPE BINARY" to kermit before the SEND or RECEIVE command. (Also, if using vt100, select the "Image" menu item, rather than "Text"). Deron E. Meranda ( meranda@cis.ohio-state.edu )
