Ok...  This is PROBABLY the reason why.  Procomm+'s protocols DON'T WORK!
I am suprised that you got 20 blocks.  I have tried to use PC+ transfering
with several other machines (UNIX and MS-DOS).  In most situations, PC+ will
allow you to download, but not upload.  I don't know why, but PC+ has problems
with most of it's protocols, including XMODEM (how does one mess up XMODEM?).

My suggestion is to you to use TELIX.  It is much like PC+, but WORKS.  It is
also public domain/shareware.  It also comes with ZMODEM (which is faster than
YMODEM, IMHO).  I have uploaded/downloaded to a directly connected 385/25 UNIX
box at 38400baud.  The unix box was using rz...
 
Hope that helps.
