It appears that the data Pan gets has missing bytes - a handful or so at a time. It is not exactly repeatable; downloading the same part yielded a different pattern of corruption each of a half dozen or so times I tried it. By the time Pan detects the error with a failed CRC or size check, the actual error event has long since receded into history. -- Chuck Forsberg WA7KGX N2469R caf@xxxxxxxx www.omen.com Developer of Industrial ZMODEM(Tm) for Embedded Applications Omen Technology Inc "The High Reliability Software" 10255 NW Old Cornelius Pass Portland OR 97231 503-614-0430 -- test mailing list test@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/test
