I have tried using both the SZ program by Chuck Forsberg and the Xmodem
program by Steve Grandi, and the 1k mode doesn't work correctly using either
program.  As I mentioned in my earlier post, when I try to use the 1k mode,
the transfer program repetitively reports a CRC error on a certain block.
I am connecting to the 6152 using telnet -- I set telnet to 8 databits, no
parity, no flow control, and transparent mode.  As far as I can tell, the SZ
program does use raw mode.  Also, when I type 'sz -TT' to test transparency,
the mode 1 test works OK, but after that test is completed, SZ reports "caught
signal 99; exiting."  The 128 byte block mode appears to work ok.  Files which
cause the CRC error problem when using the 1k mode don't cause that problem
when transferred using 128 byte blocks (with CRC error checking).
The 6152's that I use run BSD 4.3 UN*X.  If you know how to correct the
problem, please let me know.  Thanks.
