Is anyone having trouble with Syncterm and Zmodem Uploads. It seems to be great on any system with SEXYZ, but any system with older Zmodem, or PDZmodem, I get timeouts, or just plain Failure. I had Syncterm ver .99, then I tried 1.0, now I am using 1.1b, all with the same issue. Syncterm is installed on Windows 7. I'm not having any issues with mTelnet, ZOC or RIPtel, or QModem Pro, so thats Why I am asking if there is a ZModem issue with Syncterm. I really enjoy Syncterm the best. Thanks In Advance.

SyncTERM and SEXYZ share the same zmodem code, so it's not surprising that they're compatible. As for systems with "older Zmodem" or PDZmodem, can you provide an example of a system I can use for a test?
SyncTERM and SEXYZ has been tested against several ZMODEM protocol drivers (e.g. [l]szrz, [F]DSZ, CE-XYZ), but perhaps there's protocol drivers that we're not compatible with and haven't been notified of. I don't currently have a Synchronet instance that can run 16-bit DOS programs (e.g. PDZmodem), so having a test system out there in the wild could be helpful.

I'm running a dos BBS here (Ezycom) using pdzmodem on the ezycom side
and have a few users who upload .REP packets almost every day. (I'm one
of them in the summer from the trailer, and I use syncterm on the laptop)

I had to muck about with the settings on ezycom, but I was able ot make
it work, the fault wasn't with syncterm but with the other end... I can't remember what I changed now, hoping someone with a better memory speaks up for you now.

Yes, you can use my GAP systemm at valhalla.synchro.net:24 or bbs.valhallabbs.com:24, or you can try the GAP support board at bbs.gapbbs.us:5023, these are 2 systems both of us are having issues with syncterm zmodem uploads. Yes, both are 16bit, but every other term program will upload fine. Rob, please don't think I am critizing Syncterm, as It's by far the best term program out there, so I'm not knocking it, I just want to be able to use it on mine and other 16bit bbs systems. Thanks for checking on this.

I first connected with ZOC and confirmed that it appeared be able to upload to your GAP system using either the internal zmodem (at 6KB/sec) or using PDZmodem (at 300KB/sec).
I then connected with SyncTERM and attempted to upload a file (using PDZmodem on the BBS end) and it got a but of ZRPOS errors and I aborted. I disconnected, enabled File Transfer Debug logging in SyncTERM, then reconnected and successfully uploads 2 files (sbbs316c.zip and sbup316c.zip) for a total of about 19MB (with no errors). After the second file, your BBS appeared to lock-up (stopped responding) while "Checking For File Integrity....".
I tried disconnecting and then reconnecting and got booted for being on Node 1. I'll try again in a bit, but right now either the problem is intermittent (in which case, I wouldn't immediately point the finger at SyncTERM) or the File Transfer Debug-level logging in SyncTERM someone enabled it to work, which seems unlikely.
Oh I'm sure it is something we have to tweak, but we are running out of options. We even recompiled the main program, and that helped the internal zmodem a bit, and we even added PDZmodem as an external. Syncterm is the only term program giving us an issue. Unfortunatly, most people use Syncterm, and I don't want people to stop calling us because of a simple glitch. Hopfully we can figure it out. I'm sure it's a timing issue with zmodem, just have to find it. Hopefully Rob can shed some light on the problem.

Ok, thanks Jon, so it isn't just me. I know Rob is working on it, and I'm looking forward to the fix. I agree, Syncterm, is the best out there. I'm using ZOC at the moment till we can get a handle on the upload thing.

Honestly, I don't know. I have a web server, but I don't know about the PHP. I'm using a modified version of the old runemaster, but I'll be upgrading to echickens version 4 soon. I guess I'll hold off till I do the upgrades, as I really don't understand this web stuff that much. Thanks

you could always run the syncweb on another port and get WAMP ... i suggest running apache,etc in linux. you could run a vm like i do.

He mentioned alt-enter, so I would assume he means the fullscreen
mode where the program takes over control of the whole screen
(not just a maximized Windows program).

Alt-Enter is a Windows feature. Not sure if Linux has it. It's not Alt-Enter.
Maybe it one of the function key shortcuts built in but I've never had "full screen" on my lubuntu machine.

Yea but not always... I remember I built SyncTerm on LinuxMint
once and had this issue... gosh, I got it working - AND THEN
Alt+Enter worked after.. but I can't remember what button I
pressed or knob I turned, ya know.

I didn't know alt enter did that on linux. I use command line for
90% of my day and my terminal is almost always a full screen. You
can setup the screen mode from the default 80x25 to something
deeper, perhaps?
never had "full screen" on my lubuntu machine.
Gamgee said Alt-Enter does that for him in Linux..

Okay... I don't think there's anything to remember about it,
probably. I've never seen it *NOT* work. Possibly building it
from source helps, and that's how I've always done it.

Lol... listen I was on Mint or some starter distro... but I also
built from source and on ONE of my installs as I was hopping
around distros, the Alt+Enter thing didn't work...
then, what i meant is... i can't remember what the oddity was in
that build, but I did something that enabled or allowed the
alt-enter to work. On that build...
But I follow you and your logic is right. Just saying, that I had
the issue once too... and while I couldn't give the OP the
answer, I figured it out in the end.
Would it be possible to compile Syncterm for IPadOS? That would be so cool.
And I think it's just iOS, not iPadOS.

Are you going to pony up the $99 a year that Apple charges in order to get SyncTERM listed in the Apple store? Otherwise you'll only be able to side-load it on a jailbroken device.
I haven't published an iOS app, but I had the impression that the $99 fee was a one-time fee to get it listed. But developers have to pay $99 every year to have the app listed?

I think it's $99 per year to remain an active "apple developer" I don't think you can push updates to your app without it.
However, some might also argue that there is also a lot of 'junk' software out there, and software with ads, malware, etc.. I suppose it can help to have a middle ground somewhere to help ensure a selection of quality software.

Hmm, if only someone came up with a system where development tools were freely available, but there was some kind of central repository of some sort to install software from that served as a level of validation to keep the crap out. And if only this mystical environment could not only exist, but have some kind of easy to use command line to install software directly from these repositories.... if only. ;D
I suppose you're talking about Linux distros.. :P One thing I've found with that though, is that software in a distro's repository isn't always the most up to date. To get the latest version of something, sometimes you the package manager and look it up there too - I just don't think a package manager makes it significantly easier, it's just a convenient place to look for software.
