	First of all, which version of handShake are you using.  I remember
'way back when' I was using V1.14 or whatever, I couldn't transfer any binary
files correctly.  It was just something that that version wouldn't do right.
'Least ways not using Kermit.  You might want to try some other protocol.  If
your Vax doesn't have anything other than kermit, I can send you two Ymodem
executable files, one for upload, and the other for downloads.  Also, see if
you can uuencode your files, then uudecode them after d/loading them.  Takes 
a heck of a lot longer, but at least you can download files until you find out
what your problem is.
