I checked my Procomm Plus 2.0 docs also and couldn't find any references to
DSZ. However, I think Datastorm SHOULD contact Chuck Forsburg (sp?) about
DSZ. Procomm's implementation of ZMODEM performs miserably. On a 19200 bps
PEP connection, I get a throughput of about 700cps using Procomm's ZMODEM.
Using Telix, I get a more reasonble 1100 to 1300cps throughput. I'm
going to send in my $$$ to get Telix after testing it a bit more (it's
VT100 terminal emulation seems a bit off). I've also found that Procomm's
ZMODEM freezes every now and then for no apparent reason. I've also found
that Procomm Plus 2.0 and QEMM-386 5.12 have some nasty interactions. I've
had QEMM terminate after exiting Procomm several times.
