- Regarding the lower transfer rates:
-
- If the modem is a MNP5 modem, and you are going in through a packet
- switch to get to the VAX, be sure to turn off the MNP5 compression. With it
- on, it really causes delays (similiar to your figures) when transmitting or
- receiving data or files. To make sure, try the command: AT%C0 to you modem
- to turn it off. Also, when sending via Zmodem with the 'sz' command
- in many instances you will need to add the -e switch to escape all control
- characters.
- SO: 1) before dialing the modem: AT%C0
- 2) use : sz -e filename when sending a file
-
- Also, for receiving a file to your ST from the vax, be sure you Zmodem
- is set to receive 'escaped control chars'.
-
- One final note on Zmodem vs kermit, is your data connection to the vax
- a 7-e or 8-n connection? If it is 7-e , you most likely will have to stick
- with kermit.
-
- Hope this helps.
