Hi Netters,

I am having trouble downloading files from our UNIX server at school 
to my mac at home. Is any one out there doing this successfully?

I got mcvert, unsit, macbinary, and zmodem from the sumex archive.  I
successfully (I think) compiled all these programs and here's what I
do: 
1) use mcvert to convert the *.hqx files to *.sit.bin files 
2) use unsit to unstuff the *.sit.bin files. 
3) use macbinary to get a binary file out of the unstuffed files.

All is well at this point.  But when I log on to the server from home 
and try to send the file using the zmodem protocal, I cannot get
anything through- the command sz (part of zmodem) sends a 1024 byte 
block through the modem, White Knight automatically picks it up, and 
then the whole thing just hangs there. Nothing more comes through the 
phone line...

What am I doing wrong?  I can still use text capture to download the
.hqx files and do the decoding and unstuffing on the Mac but that's
painfully slow 70% of the time.  Any pointer to the right direction 
is greatly appreciated.

Oh, the hardware/software used here are SPARCStation 1 running SunOS
4.0.3c and Mac IIcx running System 6.0.5 and White Knight 11.0
