Likely as not, the problem is the terminal server.  sz was designed
to operate over a serial line/direct connection/direct modem and has
problems with terminal server's buffers.  

A solution that has worked here at UIUC is setting the window size
to 3K or 4K.  Try:

	sz -w 4096 <filename>
or
	sz -w 3072 <filename>

Yes yes yes those are all fine and dandy for machines that are housed
in large facilities that have tons of money to throw away on disk space
(IE Unix and VMS systems in Universities and larger corporations) but
most BBS's these days are PC (that's PC not IBMPC) based and usually those
who operate these systems don't feel like using some bland ascii format that
offers no form of storage compression...

(Just so that no one think's I'M uninformed, our company develops software for
both PC's and DEC VAX/VMS systems...)

 I still have a problem with using zmodem from my unix host.
I dialup through a terminal server.  from there I connect to
my unix host, then enter my username and password.

I can't get sz to work.  It always says 'data packet too long' 
until I abort it then fills my screen with garbage for the next
minute or so.  Kermit seems to work on files below 100-200K
Anything larger than that (only approximate values here) kermit
seems to choke.  I have NO problem with zmodem on ANY other
BBS I dial into.  I can get sz to work on a text file, though.

I have tried several settings in my term prg and modem.  This 
problem occurrs with any term prg I try.  My modem is a 
USRobotics dual standard 14.4, v.42bis, if that matters.  
The modems I connect to are 2400 and 1200 baud and all give
me the same results.


HELP!!

Here on Long Island NY, there seems to be a plethora of pay boards.  90% of
these are pay because they have "elite" areas, where pirated software is
traded.  Kinda tells you something eh?  :-)

Sure...  I can see boards like Channel 1 etc charging, they are very large
BBS's, and worthwhile (even though I would never pay to use them).  I was
brought up thinking how nice it would be to share everything and learn from
other people.  Now you have to pay to learn.  Hrmph.

Makes sense...  Charge the handicapped.  Park in their parking spots while
your at it, in fact, why not put in a few extra steps on the enterance to the
TDD repair shop???  

Boardwatch magazine used to be a good reference for information about what was
happening on BBS's.  Now it is a good reference for what is happening in the
BBS INDUSTRY.  Makes me sick.  That is one of the major reasons why I started
the Programmers Distribution Network several years ago in FidoNet.  I wanted
to see more sharing of ideas and more learning.  I think it helped a little,
but certainly not as much as I hoped.  Oh well.  Win some, lose some.  :-)

Mr. Ciolorito,

  In response to the following request for information:

*						Chris...                               *

    There is this BBS program called Z/Max XChange that is running up 
at the Syracuse CASE center.  It has a pull down menu/pop up window 
type interface that makes it really easy to use.  It does a lot of 
things for a BBS.  It does electronic mail, on-line conferencing, you 
can create survey and exam style questionnaires, you can transfer 
files using a bunch of different protocols, etc.  

    They have a demo system running that you can get a free account 
on.  I think the number was (315) 635-2026 for a 9600 baud modem.  
Make sure you set your modem to 7-E-1, I had mine set to 8-N-1 at 
first, and I had some problems.  The login to register for an account 
is zmax and the password is xchange.  If I am wrong on the above 
numbers and settings, their telephone number is (315) 635-1882.

    Good luck in your search.

We've operated a system no for just about 10 years -- starting
on a HeathKit H-89, then moving into Compupro S100 machines
and now on 486/50 networked boxes with 10 high speed modems running
SVR4 4.0.  We've stayed with the times -- and a good percentage
of our users appreciate that.  We charge $35/year for access, and
supply usenet feeds (we are on the internet) $2 per hour, $60 setup
with $7.50 min billing per month) -- and while we don't get rich,
we usually have enought to cover the phone bills..

A few points to clarify.

First, the meeting was somewhat informal, and the great degree of
cooperation was what spawned the committee.

Secondly, ANYONE who is developing software is invited to join and
be a part of the decision. I'll give the address again:

San Luis Obispo, Ca, 93405
Voice: 805-542-0336
BBS/FAX: 805-543-8227 (yes, the BBS is free)

Thirdly, it is highly possible, and even probable in most cases, that
current standard implementations will be adopted. Whatever is adopted,
it has been agreed should be expandable.

I hope this allays any fears that people have.

We're not trying to be the end-all-be-all committee, we're just trying
to get something done. All developers are invited to participate.

This reminds me.  I read in Boardwatch that the Acceptable Usage Policy of
NSFNET has been changed.  The wording was (as all legal wording is) rather
long and complex, but it LOOKS like it's a lot more acceptable.  Does anyone
know what the result of this will be?  Does this mean we can legally pass
commercial traffic through NSFNET? Does this mean systems like netcom will no
longer have all of it's crazy restrictions on users?

	Does anyone out there know of an FTP site that would have a FAQ
on setting up systems for FidoNet using a front end?

	And...I just got ahold of Maximus/2 2.0.  The forward in the docs
is dated Oct 91.  The author mentioned a newer version in simultaneous
developement.  Has anyone heard of a newer version?

     Why must everyone put test posts on alt.bbs?  Surely they have a 
local area test site, or at least misc.test....

I'm trying to get a friend of mine in Baton Rouge set up with email and,
possibly, a _very_ small news feed. Hopefully this would be free or very
low cost. Please email.

Thank you.
