![]() And it still can't approach the speeds of native FTP. The problem is that it is hard to find server implementations to test against. If I was slightly more ambitious I would implement YModem-G, which does away with error checking and ACK packets. TCP/IP is already doing all of the error checking and re-transmitting and it provides a sliding window. (It's patterned after Procomm 2.4.3, including the noises it makes.) I added X and Y modem to mTCP Telnet for the occasional "Wow, let's demonstrate how to download a file ye olde way" moment. If you are really looking for speed, use FTP instead. In the year 2018 Ymodem with 1K packets is about all you need, especially over Ethernet. Over a serial port this was a big deal even with X or Y modem using 1K packets waiting for the ACK for each packet caused a lot of dead time on the line. The big advantage of Zmodem was the speed, which was obtained by using a sliding window. MTCP Telnet does not support Zmodem because it really doesn't add anything over Ymodem. Version 2.4.3 runs great on any DOS machine I've ever used, including the PCjr. It looks like it can do anything, you just need to know the right keywords.įor serial ports I use an older version of Procomm. So any suggestions? Does someone know a good terminal application i could try out? Or maybe someone can instruct me a bit about MS-Kermit how to make it work. What i have been unable to do is to transfer files with it. I have managed to use it to connect to BBSes with proper terminal type so it looks okay everywhere. I have found MS-Kermit ( ) which seems to be super expert tool that's somewhat hard to use. The mTCP collection contains pretty nice telnet application, but it doesn't support serial communication and it lacks support for zmodem. I would also like it to support all kinds of file transfer protocols like xmodem, ymodem and zmodem. I would like it to support serial communication and also packet drivers and telnet support. I'm in a search for ultimate dos terminal application to use on my dos machines. ![]()
