Re: [Gumstix-users] kermit timeout

[Sean W. <mod...@ho...>]

Why then was I able to send files via hyperterminal before (zmodem I 
believe) but not anylonger?  From what I understand, the only difference 
between the old file system and the one I just flashed is the c++ library I 
enabled with build.  What worked before ought to work still, right?  So 
unless the gumstix version that game by default on my board is different 
form the one I newly built and flashed, the problem must be somewhere else.  
I guess what I'm saying is if it worked by default before, what's happened?
