|
<H3>Introduction.</H3>
|
|
<p>
|
|
MBSE BBS has Xmodem, Ymodem, Ymodem-1K, Ymodem-G, Zmodem and Zmodem-8K (aka
|
|
ZedZap) build in. In addition some external protocols are added to the setup but
|
|
they are disabled by default. When the bbs is started the first time, a set of
|
|
default protocols is created. The code used is based on the code from lrzsz
|
|
package wich is based in the original code written by Chuck Forsberg.
|
|
<p>
|
|
Ymodem is receiver driven. That means if the user has selected plain Ymodem at
|
|
the bbs and
|
|
his local client is using Ymodem-G and when the user starts a download, the files are
|
|
sent with Ymodem-G and not with plain Ymodem. With the same configuation an
|
|
upload will be sent with plain Ymodem. With downloads, the Ymodem at the bbs
|
|
will use what the client wants: 128 or 1K data blocks, crc of checksum, normal or
|
|
streaming Ymodem-G.
|
|
<p>
|
|
Zmodem is transmitter driven. That means if the user has selected Zmodem-8K at
|
|
the bbs and his local client is using normal Zmodem and when the user starts a
|
|
download, the download is sent with Zmodem-8K. With the same configuration an
|
|
upload will be sent with plain Zmodem. With uploads, the Zmodem at the bbs
|
|
doesn't care what is being used, it will adapt to the client program.
|
|
<p>
|
|
These days (2004) nobody should use Xmodem anymore but when I wrote Ymodem you
|
|
also get Xmodem because they are the same. Only with Xmodem the user has to
|
|
type in the filename to both sides. If you enable it you are on your own and you
|
|
may need to change the sources to make it really work because I didn't add
|
|
typing in the filename at the bbs. Also, Xmodem is restricted to 8.3 filenames
|
|
and the bbs uses long filenames.
