Subject: QTERM 4.3 filetransmission non-functioning

QTERM 4.3 -- what's wrong?

I have downloaded QTERM 4.3 from simtel20, and have set the thing up
for my Rc700 [Danish brand].  It appears very neat and works fine
(vt100 emulation and all) until I try to do any kind of filetransfer.
(up or down)

In kermit it times out, and in X/Y modem it tells me that it receives
non-ack characters.  I have never gotten a transfer started yet.

This suggest a bad implementation of the i/o functions in the
overlayfile, but I have hooked it raw into the bios functions (which
works nicely in ZMP, even in X/Y modem).  I have interrupt driven
(with a 256 bytes buffer) serial comms, and besides runs at 1200 baud,
while testing this thing out.

Originally I thought it was modem problems but then I hooked up to a
PC with telix (null-modem) and I still had the problem. (And ZMP still
works perfectly)

Apparently the 7-bit mask have nothing to do with this, and I do not
see anything else appropiate.


Are there anybody who knows what I may have overlooked?


Thanks in advance

P.S.  Three reasons for not using ZMP.  
      1) Slooow  (runs at max 200 chars/sec)
      2) I need the cable from the second discdrive to power the PC, 
         and ZMP do *NOT* like transfers without the correct disk inserted
in the
        systemdrive.  
      3) ZMP crashes occasionally when stopping filetransfers prematurely.
