972.0. "WXmodem term program needed." by HOUSE::FRACTAL () Fri Dec 11 1987 22:53

    
    Could somebody upload a terminal program that supports WXmodem?
    I here that this protocol is much faster as well as more reliable
    than Xmodem. If possible could you upload it using Xmodem? I can't
    download arcs that are variable length. 
    
    	Thanks,

    P.s. Comm would be nice.

972.1	WXmodem only good for PLINK DL'ING.	LEDS::ACCIARDI		`Sat Dec 12 1987 00:40`	12
	I'd be glad to post Comm or ACO (ACO = Comm w/enhancements for conferencing), but you should know that WXmodem will not work on VMS or Compuserve. Or even between two Amigas running Comm. Comm can only receive WXmodem, not transmit. Aegis' DIGA! terminal will support WXmodem in it's next upgrade. As far as I know, WXmodem is a PeopleLink (PLINK) exclusive. Still interested? Ed.
972.2	Ok how about Zmodem	HOUSE::FRACTAL		`Sun Dec 13 1987 00:41`	7
	How about Zmodem. That's faster than Xmodem isn't it? I think I've seen a VMS version around somewhere (Wecker's directory?). Can we manage a term program with Zmodem? thanks again,
972.3	ZModem coming	NAC::PLOUFF	LANsman Wes	`Mon Dec 14 1987 09:52`	3
	Gary (?) Sumrall, the author of VT100 v2.7, says that v2.8 will have ZModem support, and will be released around the end of the year.
972.4	Sounds like a present to me.	HOUSE::FRACTAL		`Mon Dec 14 1987 20:57`	6
	great! (as long as somebody uploads a fixed length version) thanks, -ph
