- We recently posted a problem We were having concerning hardware flow
- control with a Datability oem term server. Well, it seems the problem has
- gone away, and I'm ashamed to admit that nobody knows excactly what cured
- the problem. The flow control just started to work out of the blue! The
- server flow controls just like the manual says it should.
- Thanx anyhow for the replies that came.
-
- There still is a slight problem with flow control however, and it's not
- an easy to put a finger on. Several people (pretty much everybody) who
- try to do a ZMODEM tranfer run into a problem where the terminal server
- locks up in the middle of the transfer. We can see the cts flow control
- functioning properly, and when we do a cat on a large file we don't seem to
- experience any lock ups. When the person doing the tranfer gets locked up
- he or she hits a break char and gets the server prompt. The next step is
- to type "resume" and the transfer continues.
-
- Has anybody had this exact problem? Could it be an escape char such as a
- break that's causing the trouble? Could it be an xoff embedded in the
- binary stream? If anybody is doing ZMODEM transfers into a Datability
- We'd sure like to hear from you.

- Pulling my hair out, Kevin
