CA> Hello Dave -

CA> CA>> I am usually able to zmodem download but not zmodem upload when
CA> CA>> telnet'g to BBS via the Internet. I've suspected that the config
CA> CA>> of zmodem at the BBS end of the transfer was not setup properly
CA> CA>> but haven't had a great deal of luck getting owners of BBS to
CA> CA>> look at the zmodem setup. Some just say it's hard coded and they
CA> CA>> can't make any adjustments (which sounds odd but may be true?).

CA> DO> Depends on the BBS software. Most allow external protocol drivers
CA> DO> and the ones from Omen are far more configurable than most
CA> DO> built-in ones.

CA> Chuck Forsberg has made the source code and binaries available for
CA> many OS at his server but the last so-called sysop I tried to
CA> persuade to use it couldn't understand how to configure it and just
CA> gave up.

CA> I do use GSZ as my external zmodem when direct dialing BBS and doing
CA> zmodem transfers (with Moby turned on). It works flawlessly.

CA> Omen Tech FDSZ is what I use for my telnet zmodem external protocol
CA> (the "F" is for "fossil"). The receiving side seems to control the
CA> settings so that when I am receiving I can tweak until it works. When
CA> the other side is receiving and the sysop can't or won't adjust their
CA> settings there is nothing I can do at my end to `fix' the problem. 8(

Just going on memory, I think -z 5000 in the command line forces the 
timeout to five minutes.
