Well, I guess we shall see what happens if I can find all my tools
again. I'll be re-organizing a few things over the coming weeks and months, and then I need to re-check if there's actually a need/want/whatever for me to get back into the loop :-)

Well, there was lost hope 2 years ago! :(

Constant resending a file and never completing it. The file would resend, resend, resend (retry), until it timed out. Had to have the user delete the msg packet so we could transfer mail again. Just think ZMODEM needs optimized to run under Win32 a bit. Always worked GREAT under OS/2 tho.

ok... so what is the issue?

i ran FD over telnet on dialup for years without any problems to speak of... now on 3M/384k DSL some minor anomolies do not appear any more so i assume that
they are/were timing based due to the limited dialup connection bandwidth...

2. what OS?

WinXP

3. what FOSSIL?

NetFOSS

4. what telnet shim or virtual modem?

NetSerial (Com/IP was worse!)

5. what version of FD?

2.33.mL

6. describe the actual problem you are seeing.

As I stated, on some packets, fd would resend from ZERO (0 bytes), 18-20 times over and over and not be able to complete the connection until it finally timed out and failed. Thus it would try to send and/or receive (depending which way it wouldn't transfer), over and over and over and over. Thus forcing me to get a hold of my unlink to kill the packet or if it's on this end, kill the packet here.

7. post log snippets showing problem.

Don't use FD to transfer anymore because of the above, so I have no such log files any longer.

all i/we can do is try to help...

Thanks!

what did the other end have? software and connection...

the reason i ask is that i've only ever seen this on high-latency connections like dialup on paths with overly busy routers and such...

there was a lot of work done in the transfer engine to relax the timings for these types of problems...

i think you should have it, then... dunno what could be the problem... like said before, i only saw problems like that on congested/slow pipes...

My other issue is the IP address being trucated ie:

199.99.999.99 would show up in the DOBBSx.BAT file as 1999999999.

I am using NetSerial/NetFOSS (Contacted Mike @ PCMicro Already), but being you're running a beta, maybe you can see something.

Whenever I answer FD via terminal mode, the IP displays PERFECTLY. But once I have FD pass the information onto the DOBBSx.BAT file to load the BBS here is what I get.

EXEBBS 115200 2 10080 1 /ARQ/7125343200 N/A

Which under ALT-J (Terminal mode from WFC), it would show as 71.253.43.200 whenever I answered the "RING" ....

I never really paid much attention when I was using OS/2 and SIO, so I'm not sure if it worked then or not.

Any ideas would be GREATLY appreciated! Or some help from JoHo or Mats. Or at very least them being notified on the problem.

Thanks!

i don't know why it would be being written to the dobbs file like that... everything that i see here seems to show that FD writes the connecting number as it received it from the "modem device"... my USRs send caller id data preformatted and my telnet shim also writes IP numbers formatted with the dots in the proper places... FD, as far as i can see, doesn't unformat them :?
