I can take another look at the command line paramaters.

I've tried 360 byte files, 2k files, 100k files, 500k files, 3 meg files, 
I've tried xmodem, ymodem, zmodem. I've also tried tying up my bandwidth 
to *force* a slow upload.

Currently the only uploading I do is to a Wildcat board, rep packets and 
the ocassional file to the file areas. Works slick unless I try to upload 
a file 3 or 4 + megs. Then I start getting errors around 2 or 3M sometimes 
it's successful despited the errors.

I keep talking about errors, I will have to start looking for a log, or 
writing them down if you're going to help me with this. :

I don't understand the question.

darkside.dtdns.net is an sbbs board I've tried the most. Also tried 
cvs.synchro.net at the suggestion of Rob Swindell, the sbbs author. 
teamgflag.dyndns.org is another one that I've tried. Just about any board 
running synchronet. Was successful at darkside.dtdns.net when using 
mtelnet under windoze xp.
