  • ZMODEM timeout

    From G4br13l@VERT/REALITY to All on Sun Oct 19 18:06:53 2025
    I decided to try looking at a BBS again (as one does) and being the beginner I still am, I discovered a
    problem: whenever I start a download over ZMODEM, Konsole picks up, says lrzsz-rz is listening, asks me for adirectory to save into and then proceeds to receive timeouts only.

    The telnet window meanwhile contains only the B000(...) code. Im a beginner so I dont exactly know how to fixthis, but if anyone has an idea where could the problem be Id be glad.

    Right, I forgot to mention, if I select XMODEM or YMODEM, nothing appears (not even the B000(...) line).

    I use: Konsole terminal emulator, telnet for connection and have lrzsz installed.

    Thanks in advance for any suggestions,
    Gabriel

    I suggest you use a terminal program designed for BBS use and integrated X/Y/ZMODEM support, like SyncTERM.

    so it's not working and there's tons of telnet clients to pick from out
    there.

    what do you think you should do?
