assistant: Hi,
I'm new to modems, and I'm having an U/L problem that I haven't been able
to solve myself:
I tried U/Ling two ZIP files to three different local BBS's. This was my
first try with files, although I've been U/Ling much smaller QWK packett
replies for several weeks without a problem.
One file was 64,784 bytes, and it U/Led without a problem. The other
file is 521,498 bytes, and it aborted five times, after successfully
transfering between 78,xxx and 185,xxx bytes!!!
There was no warning-no indication anything was wrong. The U/L dialog
box showed 0 errors, and the status line said OK. One second the box was
there humming along and the next it was gone!
I don't think the problem is line noise, because to test it I D/Led a
ZIP file from the boards, after the U/Ls failed, with no problems.
I don't know what specific info to provide those of you willing to help
me, so if you need something other than what follows, please let me know,
and I'll provide it.
I'm using QmodemPro for Windows 1.11c and a Hayes Ult/Optima 144
fax/modem set at 19,200 bps, Zmodem protocol with CTS/RTS On, DTE
locked, full duplex and ANSI emulation set at 018.
I started with the speed set at 115,xxx baud and reduced it to 57,xxx,
then finally to 19,200, but that didn't solve the problem.
Any help that you can give me will be appreciated!

Hi Matt, they moved, there is a newer version of their shareware program
v4.6 TD with the correct address and tel no.
You can reach them at 1-805-873-2500 (voice) but you can get the new
"Pro" version for either Windows or Dos for much less at Mail Order and
CompUsa/Computer City type discount stores. (around $65)
The Pro version has a lot of new features and a different interface
from the Test Drive,(most love it, some hate it) if you prefer the older
Test Drive look and feel Qmodem is still selling Qmodem 5.0 which is more
like the original TD program for about $20.

assistant: (deleted for brevity)
don't know what you mean by emulation set at 018 but as long as its ansi
doesn't matter.  Now do you have an internal or external modem, this
makes a difference. If internal, use a utility to check your 16550 to
see if its functioning properly, if its faulty, it can affect uploads.
If external, then you need a 16550 serial card. You should be seeing an
output buffer overflow just before it aborts, also does it abort to the
bbs or just drops carrier without warning (and look closely at the cps
rates, if it starts dropping steadily, then it's definitely a buffer
problem with the serial port, meaning you need a 16550 uart chip if
internal or a serial card with it for external use.
with a 14400, never a need to set it higher than 19200, a lot of bbs's
lock their settings at this speed.

put Qmodem in the learn mode and create the script yourself.
I have created several scripts this way.  But even the Learn mode isn't

I'll be glad to post my script that does just what you're requesting,

assistant: QMODEM.BEW is the Batch Entry Window text file of the files you select
for upload through ALT-6.  It is a standard ascii text file with the
paths and filenames of the files selected.
Apparently this file is created even with a manual single file upload.
(If you have files selected prior to logging on to a BBS, and decide to
send a BBS.REP packet back, your files that you picked before logging on
will be replaced with the BBS.REP path and filename after the upload
occurs.)
In either case, it's not a problem if it's deleted.  Maybe an
inconvenience, but that's all.
