However, I was not able to get into the COMMO subdirectory. I got into pub, then msdos, and then comm. But I was then told there was no such file or sub- directory as Commo. If I am doing something incorrectly, please straighten me out. No big deal on the file as I got it from Blink Link, but I like to Ftp Commo stuff from Ordata.com whenever possible. Thanks for any suggestions. Don Roberts ...

The mail door probably has a different Zmodem. The "n/a" means that no file information was provided by the sending system (except the filename). Are you sure it worked with 6.41b? The remaining time, bytes and number of files depend on that information. But you shouldn't get gibberish, so I'll take a look at that and see what's happening.
