- Sure, the latter method you describe works fine. The problem is
- having an OS/2 communications program pass control to a DOS external
- protocol -- rather difficult, when you think about it.
-
- Incidently, there is an external Zmodem available for OS/2. It is
- called M2Zmodem. It is available via anonymous ftp from
- ftp-os2.nmsu.edu or from the OS/2 Shareware BBS (703-385-4325).
