Thanks for your response, Frank.
Yes, it was working in Mac OS X public beta.
I have not tried recompiling. I'll can give it a shot.
I did try setting flow control rts/cts. ( I noticed that oddity after
I sent the previous message). Maybe I had turned it off in public beta
because:
Tuning on RTS/CTS resulted in a message that says:
Warning -SET FLOW RTS/CTS is in effect but modems CTS signal is off.
Disabling flow control temporarily during dialing.
But then.... I was able to log in on the remote machine. Oddly, I
got a system beep along with the echo of the first 4 or 5 characters
of my login name. Then things seemed to work OK.
Is it OK to ignore the above warning? Does it still enable RTS/CTS
after the connection? How can I tell?
But when I tried to download a file, I got errors.
I set the buffer size down until I got to 512 and that allowed
files to download. Even a 1 MB binary file downloaded OK, with no
reported errors. The download speed was over 2700 CPS. The modem on
the other end is a 28K modem, so that seemed quite reasonable.
My wife notes that our old 14400 zyxel modem connected to a
NeXTStation has been having some phone line problems in the last two
weeks so perhaps we have a more noisy phone line than when I tried
with the public beta.
I also noticed on the way to work this morning that our local cable
company is pulling cable on the telephone poles. Perhaps they are
causing flakey behaviour. Though why I'd be experiencing it at 10pm,
I haven't a clue.
I still haven't succeeded in doing uploads. But I'll continue to
play with it.
Finally, I notice that when I quit kermit, it says the modem may
still be active and I tell it to quit anyway.
But it apparently did not hang up. How can I force it to hang
up the phone?
