Hi everyone,

I've been playing around with my DOS computer lately and have yet to
successfully download a large file (>120kb lol) when connected to an SBBS
system via any kind of modem emulating serial port telnet connection. 
Currently I'm using a Simulant Retro Wifi (computer sees it as a modem but it
telnet's to the BBS).  Works great for browsing BBSes.  Flawlessly in fact. But
downloading large files always fails. 

X and Ymodem modes will start getting CRC errors. Zmodem fails to start
transferring at all.  This is with any SBBS system (haven't tried other BBS
systems yet).

In a proper ethernet-based telnet session (both DOS via mTCP and Win95 via
mTelnet) file transfers work fantastically well.  Fast and error free.

I understand SEXYZ is a modern, forward looking implementation of these
protocols and I'm looking backwards lol.  But I was just wondering if there is
a DOS terminal program known to work well with a SEXYZ-based BBS?

Cheers,
Doug
