TMODEM Tmodem may well be the worlds fastest file transfer protocol. At least, none that I've tested can beat it. Tmodem's derived from the HTMS protocol Translink with special modifications so that it'll work well with BBS systems and Terminal programs. Tmodem has a built in commucations manager and doesn't need any type of fossil, in fact you should make sure you turn the fossil OFF if running it on a BBS that uses a fossil. Tmodem requires a number of command line switches. -B -P -L -R Receive files -F -K Keep interrupted transfers (Do not use if running on a BBS) -B, supported baud rates 300 - 115,200 Baud. -P, Supported Com Ports, COM 1 and COM 2. -L, Supported Locked Baud Rates, 300 - 115200 Baud. -F, As many as DOS allows. Full drive, path, and filename supported. There must be one at least blank space between The switch and the parameter..ie. -B2400 The -L switch is only for those that do not have COMx= set in the envirnoment. If your running Osiris then Tmodem will use the COMx= automatically. Sample Osiris Command line (protocol control file) Send : -B *B -P *P -F *F RCV : -B *B -P *P -R The Same for TelStar. Tmodem may be freely used by Osiris and Telstar Owners. If you do not own TelStar or Osiris, Tmodem must be purchased. The price is 15 dollars (US Currency). Mail to : Micro TECH Systems 555 North Spring, #39 Cape Girardeau Mo. 63701 Revision History Rev 1.00 : First Release Rev 1.01 : Increased timer for start of transfer. Those running slow XT's would time out before the transfer could be started. Added Crtl-X abort feature. A send session may be canceled by sending 5 control-X's. This is only effective BEFORE the actual transfer starts. Once the transfer starts, it can not be abort short of hanging up.
