I'm not real sure about this but a ways back I ran into the same thing. In our
case it seemed to me that there was a problem with the UNIX host trying to keep
up with the mac (...you know, I'm IN LUV with UNIX - ick! :-). It was a hack
but by putting in the pause (effectively converting the Zmodem to Ymodem) for
going to the UNIX box seemed to solve the problem. Note also that XON XOFF
protocols can muck up the Zmodem stuff too.

(Note for Ken...If you haven't noticed, some of our vax ports are 8 bit and
some are 7. There is an inconsistency that we need to fix here that we just
haven't gotten around to yet :-) give me or Lee Schuler a call and I can
explain).
