Gee I don't know. When did you get your version of Amax II? We got one of the
first ones, we had it ordered before they had it released. Maybe you have a
fixed version? 

Which terminal program are you using? Zterm will work sometimes and sometimes
it won't. We set up a script file to send over several files with Zmodem from
our unix machine and Zterm would start out fine then bomb after an arbitrary
number of files came thru unscathed. Sometimes it would work on 5 files, 
sometimes only 2 files, but it would always crash. And the same results using
different terminal programs and recieving the files by hand rather than running
the script file. The script file was basically just a file on the unix machine
that said:

sz file1
sz file2
sz file3
...
This was running Amax II on a stock amiga 2000 with 2091 hard drive 
and 3 megs of memory.
On my amiga 1000, Zterm wouldn't even talk to the modem at all.
We want to call Readysoft but can't find their damn phone number in any of
the documentation!!!
