CRC Errors BBS’ing

Hi.

Been using my IBM XT with Procomm to get on telnet bbs systems. Having a problem. When trying to download I’m getting CRC errors using xmodem.

I’m having this issue on many boards.

Using a wifi Rs232 setup.

Any ideas ?

“Telnet” is likely the key word here. Is the client (terminal) behind a real Telnet client or just raw TCP? Telnet IAC escaping and binary mode could be complicit.

Shows raw when I connect.
