Listen... I use win server AKA WildCat 5 and have no issues what so ever with
Z-Modem transfers... It's never hung on a file transfer YET... now the BBS does
choke people off at 56K ... and the download engine is 32 bit ...I just think
there is something wrong with Synchronets application of Z-Modem...

If it's an open source why not dump the flaky version that's attached and make
it a fully funchional 32 bit flavor...  There must be a reason why ones works
and the other doesn't
