I have downloaded and installed it. Zmodem downloads here seem to be a little bit better.
If you recall, I've had quite a few problems where with my wireless and downloading.
Using my Atari Mega STe with a WiModem232 Pro, at 38400 baud, I successfully download
files via Zmodem from my BBS (DarkForce!) which is an Atari Mega ST using a regular
WiModem232 running at 38400 baud. I usually do have a few CRC errors but they do
correct, continue, and finish the download. For example, last night I D/L'ed a 300k
file. It had 14 CRC errors during the download. It did download successfully though
and the ZIP was intact, no corruption.
What I am still seeing is dropped characters. For example, when I use " ? " to cycle
the main menu on DarkForce!, it almost always has a line that's incomplete, with some
garbled or missing text or characters from the screen. It's why I reverted back to the
regular WiModem232 on my BBS instead of the WiModem232 Pro.
When I call in with SyncTerm from my Kubuntu Linux laptop or my Win10 computer, I
don't get the dropped characters.
Here, it's always if there is a WiModem232 Pro anywhere in the connection chain. Whether
that's using it to receive calls or using it to call in. For example, I can call in to DarkForce!
with it's regular WiModem232 with my Atari Mega STe using a Lantronix UDS10 at 19.2k and
I don't see this problem. If I hook up the WiModem232 Pro to DarkForce! and call in with the
Atari Mega STe and the Lantronix UDS10, I get dropped/garbled characters.
I'm open to suggestions on what to do. Thank you so much for these great products and your
continued support.
