Is this DOS Telix? I recently tried using version 3.51 as a telnet client with INT 14 on top of a packet driver (epppd) and wattcp stack (tcpport), without success. The error message said something about a fossil driver not loaded. I am able to do this with the freeware Conex terminal program, and have also managed to do Zmodem downloads this way, although uploads invariably failed. This subject has been beaten to death. In DOS, I stick to ftp for file transfer over the Internet. If you really must use Zmodem over telnet, I believe there are some dedicated Windows telnet clients with built-in Zmodem that will save you a lot of grief. Howard Eisenberger Ottawa, Canada ....
