- Ymodem Batch / Ymodem-G
-
- Ymodem has a built in communications manager and doesn't
- need any type of fossil, in fact you should make sure you
- turn the fossil OFF if running it on a BBS that uses a
- fossil.
-
- Ymodem requires a number of command line switches:
- -B, -P, {-R or -S}
- -Bxxxx <Baud Rate>
- -R Receive files
- -UDrive:path, directs that all files received should be
- stored on this drive and in this directory.
- This switch is primaryly for NON-OSIRIS,
- NON-QT systems. Osiris takes care of this
- internally and this switch should NOT be
- used.
-
- Example: -UC:\uploads
- -UD:\files\temp
-
- Do NOT end the path with a backslash "\"
-
- Illegal -U settings would be C:\
- C:\uploads\
- D:\files\temp\
- C:
-
- -X , Engage RTS flow control. Should ONLY be used if you are
- attempting to run a High Speed modem locked at 19200 or
- 38400 WITHOUT a 16550 Uart. This is NOT a fix, only a
- short term solution until you get a 16550 installed.
-
- -G , Use Ymodem-G.
-
- -O, use Ymodem Overdrive/Overthrust. This is compabible with
- the DSZ Ymodem Overthrust.
-
- The switch should never be used with the -G switch.
-
- -Nx, with x being the node number in use. For use on Osiris
- CBIS systems only. Ymodem will show the name of the
- caller as well as where he's from if this switch is used.
-
- -Px, Supported Com Ports, COM 1, COM 2, COM 3, and COM 4.
- (COM1-8 if used with OSIRIS.)
- -S, <Filenames> as many as DOS allows. Full drive,
- path, and filename supported.
-
- e.g. -S File1.Zip File2.Zip
-
- NOTE: -R or -S MUST be the last
- parameter on the command line. As soon as
- Ymodem encounters either one of these two
- switches, it will begin to either Receive
- or Send.
-
-
- The -L switch is only for those that do not have COMx= set in
- the environment. If your running Osiris then Ymodem will use
- the COMx= automatically.
-
- Sample Osiris Command line (protocol control file)
-
- (Ymodem)
- Send : -N*N -B*B -P*P -@*U
- RCV : -N*N -B*B -P*P -R
-
- (Ymodem-G)
- Send : -G -N*N -B*B -P*P -@*U
- RCV : -G -N*N -B*B -P*P -R

-
- Infomation
-
- This driver supports Ymodem Batch and Ymodem-G. Use -G for
- Ymodem-G.
-
- It has been tested against DSZ in both modes and seems to
- function just fine.
-
- The Ymodem-G documentation is rather swallow on just exactly
- what to do if an error occurs. The receiver is suppose to
- abort the transfer but it doesn't say if it's suppose to
- abort out the entire BATCH session.
-
- We would recommend Ymodem-G ONLY be used if the call is
- local or your using an HST, Telebit, or another other modem
- with MNP or ARQ type error correction.
-
- Special -B setting
-
- If you leave the -B switch OFF, ie. don't supply it, Ymodem
- will use the current SERIAL setting.
-
- This may result in efficiency ratings and estimated transfer
- times to be off if you are running a LOCKED serial port set
- to a higher rate than you are actual running.
-
- If you find you have trouble getting it to run, try this
- approach. If it then works, you'll know that either your -B
- setting was wrong or the -L lock rate was not correct.
-
- Price
-
- Ymodem may be freely used by Osiris Owners. If you do NOT
- own Osiris, Ymodem must be purchased.
-
- The price is 15 dollars (US Currency).
