Procomm plus v2.1 for windows works well (execptionally) with ZMODEM.
The problem u indicate is similar to one we had, when the download
directory was not specified and/or not set up on the drive.  Ensure that
the download directory is specified in Procomm *AND* the directory
physically exists on the drive.   Hope this helps.
Our 'expert' on 0181 562 4357 named Graham (if you need further
assistance.
