- There's a problem either with Term or its interface to the XPR Zmodem
- library. My downloads with Term 2.4 are usually OK as long as I don't do
- anything else that takes much CPU time. For example, if I download two
- files, I can list the contents of the first (when it's done), but if I
- try to uncompress it, Term aborts the second download.
-
- Apparently you can minimize this by upping Term's task priority to
- something like 5 (instead of zero), but I haven't tried this yet. Of
- course, this is just a temporary fix until Olaf figures out what's going
- on with Term and Zmodem. I had hoped that 2.4a had fixed this. Looks like
- we'll have to wait for Term 2.5.
-
- In the meantime, I've had better reliability with Ymodem, but it's slower
- on the BBS that I connect to...
