Subject: External protocol help UpdReq
I undertook what I thought would be an easy task tonight -- installing the
Kermit and Ascii protocols into Max. Easy, yeah, right.
For some reason things just aren't working out. When I run the Ascii
protocol it just says:
OATS (Opus Ascii Transfer System) Version 1.02
Written for Opus use by Vince Perriello
Can't open ctl file: No such file or directory
and likewise, Kermit just babbles:
OKermit Version 1.05
Adapted for Opus use by Vince Perriello
Can't open ctl file: No such file or directory
I've edited the Protocols.Ctl file and recompiled Max.Ctl with that. Okay,
fine. Max tells me this in the log file (cut down a bit and wrapped for
brevity):
# 16 Jan 18:29:35 MAX External program: `Kermit.Exe Kermit00.Ctl -p1 -b38400
-t0 -m1 -f1 -r67'
# 16 Jan 18:32:23 MAX External program: `Ascii.Exe Ascii00.Ctl -p1 -b38400
-t0 -m1 -f1 -r65'
Okay, everything seems fine. The Ascii00.Ctl and Kermit00.Ctl are being
made -- I've looked at them in the \Max directory. But why the *#&%)(@!
doesn't the stupid protocols see the *.CTL files instead of telling me "Can't
open ctl file." Anyone have any ideas? Thanks in advance.

Subject: TIMEOUT BUG! UpdReq
I found a bug when downloading files. If the transfer takes longer than the
system estimated, but allowed the person to do the transfer...when they run
out of time the system will say "Timeout" in the transfer error/status area
on the screen, lock up for a while, and then either the person will have to
hang up, or possibly MAX did... This was with the Zmodem protocol when I was
doing a LOT of compiling off and on in the background under OS/2 which
boosted the transfer time up over their time limit.

Subject: J-Modem & SuperZ-Modem UpdReq
Is anyone running SZ-Modem and J-Modem on Maximus? If so, please post your
Protocol.Ctl so I can see how to do it.
Also can I use the same version of SZ-Modem or J-Modem version that callers
would use with Telix or does it have to be made specificly for Maximus 2.xx?
Having full SZ-Modem would be add an especially nice touch to any board.
