- We recently bought an Annex III. We were assured by various people at
- Xylogics that we would have "no problem" doing 8-bit clean connections to our
- Sun so that users could download binaries with zmodem or xmodem or whatever.
-
- Well, now we have this very fine expensive server and no way to do what we
- need. Xylogics tech support is trying, but so far none of their ideas seem
- to work. I am _not_ using Xon/xoff or telnet_crlf, and the attention char
- is turned off (by being set to "" or to ^@, I've tried both) as it the
- telnet escape char (set to u). Flow control is "eia" in both directions, as
- we use hardware flow control. Rlogin just doesn't do the trick- zmodem
- downloads fail instantly- and telnet isn't any better.
-
- I don't understand why telnet isn't doing the trick- there shouldn't be any
- in-band data that matters to it at this point. Anyone know what's wrong? If
- you are successfully doing 8-bit xfers, what is your port setup and what
- macro (if any) are you using?
-
- Thanks,
