Re: Spectrum 2.2 telnet question...

[Bryan Villados <news001@macgeek.org>]

The only things I could think of at the very moment is to shrink the
size of the packet. Also, if you have other protocols, such as YMODEM
or XMODEM, see if they work. And, try checking to see if the filename
(excluding the path) is compliant with the OS your're downloading to
(ProDOS, DOS 3.3, etc.)
