need Hyperterminal help

Using hyperterminal(in WinXP) I called my friend through modem.
He was waiting for me at other end..
We transfer files (protocol: Z modem with crash recovery)and had chat!
But when trying to send bigger file(>500k)...obviously due line noise or other factors, error occurs and connection is dropped and/or computer hangs.

-I want to if there is alternative software for this purpose, so that I can file at other side through modem.

Why don't you send a mail with the file attached to your friend? 500k is not a big problem for, say, Outlook.

... use "ZModem with crash recovery", if you drop the line, once you restart the trasmission, it begins where it was left ...

Well if you have nostalgia for old times try several ones. Zmodem is pretty good protocol and very reliable. It is the last protocol developed for Modem communications.

The problem with HyperTerminal is that what you are saying is propably a bug in the software actually for the Zmodem implementation. Indeed what happens is that no ones cares now if this bug exist.

Ask Microsoft if they like to fix it. I think they include the same HyperTerminal package over and over in their Windows versions.

Used to be hundred of softwares. ProComm for example. This is old stuff.
