i've never had FD's zmodem implementation have or cause problems... i doubt
that it was anything specific to FD but more to your serial port driver...
i've not attempted to run FD under any version of windows nor will i...
windows just doesn't make it past my standards for mission critical
operations...

why would anyone recommend an abandonware package over something? IREX has its
own sets of problems... problems that simply do not exist with FD...
