I just discovered that using ZModem with Qodem for Windows trying to upload a file can reliably crash my Max/2 system every time. Using YModem-G seems to work.

Anyone else have this issue?

Wasn't this a known issue for uploading or something? I remember I
created a work around that would let people upload their mail packets
before the BBS launched or soemthing insane like that.

Even if I knew where my backup was I wouldn't be able to figure it
out anymore anyway. LOL

I have your workaround here for mTel. I think's the same issue with a buggy ZModem implementation. I switched over to YModem-G without
issue. It's not that big of a deal but I want to let my callers know
that there may be issues.

I think the modern terminals all support ymodem-g anyway? I'd have to check Magiterm (which is the one I use now) and see.

I've discovered when downloading a QWK packet using HyperTerminal with ZModem, HT's buggy Zmodem causes a data corruption and you lose the
whole packet.

Ugh that's wonderful.

How well does Magiterm work? I spotted it an one point and was going to give it a try, but for some reason, and I can't remember why, I never did.

Is it still being developed?

As far as I know.

The code is available on GitLab.
