I think this may have not gone through so I'm reposting.
Apologies if I duplicated a posting.
I had a problem uploading in Ymodem (plain vanilla Ymodem,
not Ymodem-G or anything) to a particular bulleting board.
I kept getting all bad blocks, regardless of what file I
tried to upload. Xmodem worked fine, however, so I used that.
I usually use Ymodem Batch but it wasn't an option on this
BBS. I'm using Procomm Plus (never had a problem) and a
new 2400 baud modem (no MNP).
The modem manufacturer said if files could be transferred in
any protocol, then everything with the modem was fine; the
modem just maintains a connection; it therefore must be a
software problem. The sysop of the BBS in question
said that others use Ymodem and they have no problems.
Help! Who's right? If it's the modem I can exchange it
within 30 days. If it's the BBS, I'll just go with Xmodem.
Your emailed or posted responses are appreciated.
