- WXTERM supports Windowed Xmodem, now available on People/Link through
- the DOS gateway available in many communications programs such as Qmodem,
- Procomm, Pibterm, Crosstalk and others.
-
-
- To use WXTERM:
-
- 1. After going online with the bbs or service that you wish, but
- before entering into Xmodem file transfer, run the WXTERM program
-
- Crosstalk: RUN WXTERM (or just RU and then WXTERM)
- at the DOS > prompt)
- Procomm: Alt-F4 (WXTERM at the DOS prompt).
-
- Qmodem: Alt-R (WXTERM at the DOS prompt).
-
- 2. The first time that you run WXTERM you will need to set
- parity, baud rate, com port (COM1 or COM2), stop bits
- and PC Jr mode. Use Alt-P to accomplish this.
-
- 3. Alt-R is Windowed Xmodem receive (with auto fall back to
- CRC Xmodem and then Checksum Xmodem).
-
- 4. Alt-S is Windowed Xmodem transmit (however the receiving
- computer actually decides which protocol to use).
-
- 5. Alt-X will let you exit WXTERM. If you get a DOS prompt
- at this point, enter EXIT <return> to exit DOS and return
- to your primary communications program.
-
- Soon many of the primary communications programs will have their
- own WXmodem support.
-
- In the meantime, please feel free to use and distribute this program.
-
- Windowed Xmodem will improve your download and upload times by 30% to
- 70%! At 1200 baud, you will see improvements of 45 to 60% in file
- transfer times.
-
- Windowed Xmodem is a public domain protocol. You will find ARC files
- describing the protocol and with source for this program in Turbo
- Pascal on many IBM PC bulletin boards.
