How do I download files over my modem to my computer at home. Depending on your software you have to use one of the transfer protocols like Xmodem or Zmodem. Zmodem is the easiest and the fastest to use. If you do not have zmodem you will need to use xmodem. Once this has been done you will have to start the receiving process on your home computer.
Most software uses the page down key to start downloading.
Other software may use a menu system to set the transfer protocols and to start the down load procedure. After pressing page down or whatever your downloading key is, it might ask you for the protocol, just select xmodem. After that it may ask for the filename, also. The filename will be the name it saves the file on your own computer, it doesn't have to be the same. If you are using xmodem to upload files to your account, you need to start the upload on clam first.
