Bill - 

You  will not be   able to transmit  binaries  unless  you are running
8-bit, no parity.  .hqx files (being just  7-bit ascii) will work fine
for  7-bit, odd or even, but  to  utilize the MacBinary   transfer for
Kermit or any *MODEM, 8-bit,N must be running.

BTW, I use s{zxb}  on the Sun UNIX side  with no options.  Similary, I
use kermit -s for kermit stuff.
