hi there ,
I need to have the following programmed - if there is already a tested
program in use : the better ... !!
!!! using Xbase and xBase-tools only
documented code
___________
1.dial a customer via modem
2. filetransfer of a list of files via z-modem (!!) <-that is important
3. hang up
4. log and report the transfer
____________
The programm should have full controll over the serial port, modem,
carrierdetect, errors and transfer-recovery.
I used crystalComm-library before but I get unexpected and not realy solved
problems internal datastructure corrupted - errors IDSC.
Anyone interested ...?

Osvaldo,
in our case that is not possible... any other way is interesting, but it has
to go via phoneline .... Any other suggestions ....?

Why does it have to be zmodem??  Tools support Xmodem also there is 
Marshellsoft which has Ymodem/Xmodem.

I also beleive FTP can be done over the phone directly.

ok ...I have to explain a lttle more : the receiving installations cannot
be changed at the moment and work on a wide variety of systems from DOS to
win2000 - thats the problem. And they work with z-modem. I used telepathy -
before changing to Xbase ..

What are your timing requirements on this?

hi Eric,
iam not quite shure what you mean - the main application will start at given
times a thread "transfer" with a list of files and numbers - the thread will
give back a list of  "success" - thats it - but there seems to be a lot of
backgroundwork necessary ..as modem control ..serial buffers and so on ...

yes, that was the question 

I'm in much the same situation with a 1K XModem transfer and am
(successfully but personally painfully) using HyperTerminal for that
purpose.

Was mostly curious - if i can help you with it at any point and/or anyone
comes back with a reasonably useful set of code... i'd be interested if it
can be modified/extended to what I need too.
