Just a suggestion, but why don't you pick up on the inexpensive terminal
programs such as Telix or the external protocol package DSZ from Omen
Technologies and use zmodem instead?  Things will go MUCH faster than
xmodem and you could use sz/rz on the Vax which is available all over the
place (should be able to email you a copy if can't find one, let me know).
My experience with zmodem and the Telix communcations package have been
nothing but favorable dealing with Unix based hosts.  I get 239 cps on a
2400 baud connection.
