- Thanks for the many replies both email and posted. In the end
- the solution turned out to be the new COMPAK2.DLL in compk101.zoo
- from ftp-os2 in the downloads directory.
- BTW I'm using :
- sz -eb file.zoo
- com16450.sys (otherwise I have to touch the port from dos)
- on port3 IRQ5
-
- 2400 Baud modem
-
- The posts about zmodem downloads being slow are true for me too.
- But I don't care. 184cps reliable background downloads are better
- than 300cps of junk.
-
- Now at last os2 is starting to pay off.
