  • Need workaround for possible broken tera term zmodem implimentation

    I have a user with a similar issue when using TeraTerm.

    Did we come to a conclusion on this one?

    Of course not.

    Snarky comment noted.

    I installed Tera Term (5.5.0) for Windows x64.

    I couldn't get it to receive files via ZMODEM (automatically or manually). After hitting Ctrl-X in Tera Term, SEXYZ always aborted the transmit attempt (from the BBS side) successfully.

    I don't think there's anything that needs to be done here from the Synchronet or SEXYZ side.

    Manual ZMODEM receive in Tera Term (5.5.0) using lsz from Synchronet to send *did* work however, so there is some difference here between SEXYZ and lsz that I should investigate. I could not get auto ZMODEM receive to work in Tera Term using lsz on the sending size either, however.

    Setting `ZmodemAuto=on` in the `teraterm.ini` file enables ZMODEM auto-receive, but downloads from SEXYZ don't progress.

    Looks like sexyz's ZMODEM implementation doesn't like Tera Term's *but lsz is more tolerant):

    ```
    [52624] SEXYZ: Sending ZRQINIT
    [52624] SEXYZ: zmodem_get_zrinit
    [52624] SEXYZ: zmodem_recv_hex_header HEX header not terminated with LF: 141 (8Dh)
    [52624] SEXYZ: zmodem_recv_header detected an INVALID HEADER
    [52624] SEXYZ: zmodem_send_file UNEXPECTED Invalid Header received instead of ZRINIT
    ```
