I'm turning to you people as I am at a loss with regards to the following issue:

On #rc2014bbs I use KMD to provide #xmodem transfer over the serial line (and, eventually via #wifimodem over the internet).

This works as long as you either connect with another #rc2014 using #qterm or #imp or if you use a #Commodore64 using #ccgms

But when you try to perform xmodem transfer from a modern machine (PC, Mac - it doesn't matter) using a modern terminal program (Syncterm, Qodem, TeraTerm, lrzsz etc. - it doesn't matter) the transfer begins, sending a few blocks and then gets into a NAK loop and aborts due to the error count reaching max.

So, my question to the wise, collective fedimind is: what can be the cause for such a behaviour? Timing issues?! Old xmodem implementation within KMD?! Some interference from the #Zimodem firmware?!

Any suggestions, comments etc. are welcome!

"Dialed" into the Mac Studio wirelessly across the room for some IRCing on old hardware, here as the snow falls. ❄️

I had to modify the plist and shell config scripts I'd setup on the Mac since "upgrading" to macOS 26 Tahoe to get this working without gripes in the terminal.

Friday night, time for some cosy gaming. These days, all you need is a #Commodore64 a #strikelink #wifimodem and a #kungfuflash ... no need for more than one PSU, couch table friendly setup.
