I have a feeling it may be an issue with the way wwiv uses the library,
and
the library not being spectacular, but I'm not sure yet.

I seem to have it uploading / downloading with mystic and sexyz.
Spent the last several hours going in circles trying to get Zmodem working properly in MagiTerm.

That'd be my bet. If you have ideas, would love to know. It works with syncterm but IIRC not with NetRunner for me. Some of that is possibly I didn't implement something in there right 20ish years ago when I added
it.

Howdy,

I've noticed that there are many iterpretations on the usage of zmodem, and the common one I came across (that I fixed for QICO), was the response to XON.
IIRC, the spec says after XON, you should get a CR & LF - but some implementations dont send the CR/LF while other implementations wait patently for it.
I had to relax QICO because it was waiting for CR/LF, but the frontend I was using (POP), wasnt sending it. Looking at SBBS, it too doesnt specifically look for it, if the sender doesnt send it (but happily throws it away if it comes).
IIRC, the spec says after XON, you should get a CR & LF - but some implementations dont send the CR/LF while otherI don't see anything in there about expecting a CRLF after an XON. There is a CRLF *before* the trailing XON of specific HEX packets.
implementations wait patently for it.
Is that what you're referring to?
