Unless your communications people have disabled the speed/parity/code conversion stuff in the switch, it *needs* to be able to throttle the line, and it will use XON/OFF. I don't think you can tell it to use anything else. You'll have to tell Zmodem to quote them or use Kermit. Kermit with long (>=1000) isn't that bad. If Zmodem can be convinced to only quote XON/XOFF, then it should be faster, but I seem to remember that it wants to quote all un-printables, or none. Thomas Erskine [613-998-2545]
