I have done some work on hslink installation and now have it working on the bbs ok. I think your command line was too long so the file never made it to the destination. Here is my fnetprot.dat and also my NODE1.CFG file (hslink node 1 .cfg file). HSLINK reads it if the file is pointed to by teh "-@filename" command line parameter. 11 Z11Zmodem with Resume Capability - Still the Best!

The docs and sample screens do not show the "\". I also removed slow HS and Xon/Xoff support. My HSLINK.EXE file is in the J:\TELIX directory. Happy ThnxGiving....
