I also tried this, I used all protocols available Zmodem, Xmodem, Kermit...
Later , I got to find out that this was a problem with TELNET itself, since with
a command called rlogin, I succeeded to do this inside our university, but then
rlogin couldn't connect to the HP-BBS.
If any body knows where the problem lies, and how can it be fixed - please respo
nd to this posting .

Thanks
