  • ZModem over Telnet?

    From Deepthaw@VERT/DS94 to All on Tue Jun 27 21:56:21 2017
    I've been playing in DOSbox to recreate my old BBSing workflow from the 90s. Connecting via DOSbox's serial emulation over telnet is working great, but I can't get zmodem to work.

    From what I've read online, this is because telnet gobbles certain characters that zmodem expects to not lose - SEXYZ was written to fix this.

    Are there any other options for my DOSbox setup? I don't *think* SEXYZ will run in it, it seems to want a win32 environment at a minimum.

    You could try to find the old DSZ.COM, which is what most people used in the DOS days.

    for some reason zmodem works like shit in dosbox. downloading isnt that popular so i would just deal with it or use another fossil protocol.

    Why are you running DOSBox instead of say.. Windows x86 (32-bit), or Win9x?

    Have you tried other protocols like YModem-G which does away with error correction. You can even set the block length to 8k instead of the default 1k.

    I would look for a copy of DSZ or GSZ and play around with the different protocols first.
