	Well I don't even know what ^Z is supposed to do.. But from about
10 seconds of fiddling, I just found that I -think- it finds the next
occurrance (sp?) of whatever you told it to look for the last time... And
if that's what it's SUPPOSED to do, it's doing it.. (in my quickie fiddling,
what's apparently what it does).

	Kermit's worked for me.. In fact when I used to telnet to my
account here, X/Ymodem wouldn't work (because of some 7 bits instead
of 8 bits which the xfer protcol expects I BELIEVE. just a guess)...
Kermit worked fine for me but it's slow as molasses.. This isn't meant
as a solution to your problem, but just what I did.. I uuencoded files
(if they weren't already BINSCIIed), catted them, and captured that..
It was about 4 times faster than Kermit!
