- Well, this is my situation.
-
- I had ftp'd the System7.0.1 from apple ; unfortunately I used 'bin',
- which I understand to be binary, as my mode of transfer. This results in
- Mac-Handler not wanting to work properly when I try to transfer the
- files to my mac partition, which is a 100M Zip disk. This device disk I
- named MAC:.
-
- Well, I've been trying to use the Zterm that comes with the SSbootfile. I
- got it working several time, but now it doesn't want to work. It hangs up
- immediately after connecting. I have a hunch but don't know if it's
- correct. It seemed to work before but now I don't know.
-
- If the Zterm is located on the filedisk SSBootfile, which is approx 154k,
- then when I use Zterm, and it is buffering the information, does that
- mean that the size of SSBootfile is increasing also???
-
- Is this why it seems that after I connect once or twice, then SSBootfile
- gets full and won't accept anymore in the buffer and therefore the modem
- hangs up? Am I way off the deep end on this? I noticed it says there is
- like 27k initially left in SSBootfile.
-
-
- This is what seemed to lead me to this:
-
- I had followed this hunch and copied the Zterm and the Zphonelist onto my
- MAC: . I had also shutdown SS and deleted the SSBootfile and recopied a virgin
- one in its place before I did this copying.I figured now ZTerm had 94Megs
- for buffer space. It worked I was able to connect. But now something is wrong again and I
- can't connect. SIGH!!! I've been at it for DAYYyyyyyyyyssssss.....
-
- Another thing: I managed, when I was able to connect, to dl a text file
- from a local bbs. It worked fine. But SS would lock up when I tried to
- dl Stuffitdeluxe.sea. It was fine until the very end of the dl then it
- locked up. What the Hell is going on!! I tried it several times. I'm
- using the Zmodem receive and send. I also tell it to dl to the Mac:,
- I even made a dl drawer, nothing seems to work.
-
- HHHHMMMMmmmmmmppppphhhhhhhhhHHHHHH!!!!!
-
-
- So, when I get Zterm working, should I ftp the MAC OS in ascii, and then
- dl them to my Mac: , also do I 'convert transfer' to binary, Macbinary,
- Smart MAc Binary or text????
-
- I know this is a long post, sorry.....
-
- Thanks to all who have previously tried or tries to help me with this.
