- TE/2 Zmodem sucks for me too ... which is one of two reasons why I won't
- register it. The other reason is that I dislike the idea of crippleware.
- Anyway, try using an external protocol like DSZ or something ... I'm
- sure something like that must exist for OS/2. I can get zmodem (on TE/2)
- to work for small files (~ < 100K) but if I want to download larger files,
- I've got to use Ymodem or Xmodem or Kermit (an external protocol). My
- big problem with TE/2 is uploading. UGH! I want TELIX for OS/2!!!!!!!!
