	The NEC 8500 has a resident TELCOM program that does MODEM7 transfers.
	8-bit up/downloads using this software frequently fail after a few
	buffers and start NAKing the host.  I haven't figured this out entirely,
	but I do know it is sometimes related to baud rate, i.e. a file that
	NAKs out at 2400 bps might come down at 1200 or 300 bps.  Some files,
	like 8-bit document-mode Wordstar files uploaded to a host from the
	NEC, always seem to NAK-out after 16 (decimal) packets, at anywhere
	from 50 to 9600 bps.  Move a 7-bit text file either way with the
	same setup, host, and software on both ends, and it goes just fine.
	Has anybody riddled this out yet ?

	Better yet, anybody know about a kermit that runs on this beast ?
