  • Qodem

    From Sean Dennis@1:18/200 to All on Tue Jul 6 19:28:32 2021
    I just discovered that using ZModem with Qodem for Windows trying to upload a file can reliably crash my Max/2 system every time. Using YModem-G seems to work.

    Anyone else have this issue?

    Wasn't this a known issue for uploading or something? I remember I
    created a work around that would let people upload their mail packets
    before the BBS launched or soemthing insane like that.

    Even if I knew where my backup was I wouldn't be able to figure it
    out anymore anyway. LOL

    I have your workaround here for mTel. I think's the same issue with a buggy ZModem implementation. I switched over to YModem-G without
    issue. It's not that big of a deal but I want to let my callers know
    that there may be issues.

    I think the modern terminals all support ymodem-g anyway? I'd have to check Magiterm (which is the one I use now) and see.

    I've discovered when downloading a QWK packet using HyperTerminal with ZModem, HT's buggy Zmodem causes a data corruption and you lose the
    whole packet.

    Ugh that's wonderful.
