- Subject : QMODEM
-
- It has come to our attention that several popular terminal programs,
- particually Qmodem, does not properly implement zmodem.
-
- If you already has the file you are abouts to download, Qmodem will attempt to
- resume transfer instead of skipping it, even thou you have the entire file.
- This causes two things to happen.
-
- 1. The file will be corrupt.
-
- 2. You will be billed for receiving the file, even thou you already had it.
- Resuming a transfer means you didn't complete it before and were not billed
- for it.
-
- If you attempts to upload a file that you did not tell the BBS about, the BBS
- will demand a ZSKIP. Qmodem, and several others, do not support this part of
- Zmodem, even thou it is part of the specifications, and will LOCK-UP.
