I think this may have not gone through so I'm reposting.
Apologies if I duplicated a posting.

I had a problem uploading in Ymodem (plain vanilla Ymodem,
not Ymodem-G or anything) to a particular bulleting board.  
I kept getting all bad blocks, regardless of what file I 
tried to upload.  Xmodem worked fine, however, so I used that.

I usually use Ymodem Batch but it wasn't an option on this 
BBS.  I'm using Procomm Plus (never had a problem) and a 
new 2400 baud modem (no MNP).

The modem manufacturer said if files could be transferred in
any protocol, then everything with the modem was fine; the
modem just maintains a connection; it therefore must be a
software problem.  The sysop of the BBS in question
said that others use Ymodem and they have no problems.

Help!  Who's right?  If it's the modem I can exchange it
within 30 days.  If it's the BBS, I'll just go with Xmodem.

Your emailed or posted responses are appreciated.
