Hello all.
When you initiate a file transfer (at least with Zmodem) on HyperTerminal,
the transfer must begin within about 30-45 seconds or the transfer will be
stopped by a timeout. That's fine if you're downloading from an automated
bulletin board or the like, but if you are transferring files between
computers that are separated by 100-200 feet and you have to walk between
them to initiate the transfer on the second machine, it won't work. Zmodem
"Auto Downloads," but only if Zmodem is running on both machines before
timing out.
So is there a way to kill the timeout feature, or else set it to, say, twice
as long before it times out? (For instance, can I create a configuration
file that Hyperterminal will look at, or change something in the registry?)
