I recently grabbed a copy of Telemate to replace my aging
Procomm2.4.2 (I really wanted a 43-line display).  Overall,
I like the package, but I'm having some severe problems
with file transfers.

I've had no problems in transfering files using the generic
Xmodem download.  However, every attempt I've made to download
using any protocol with a 1K block size has bombed.  I've
fiddled with settings galore on both ends (both with rzsz
and some old Xmodem package on our system that has support
for 1K Xmodem), and nothing I do seems to work.  The
first packet will transfer, then everything goes to hell.
The logfile on the host side indicates that my system has
stopped responding.

Besides this niggling little problem, I enjoy Telemate.  The
cut and paste feature is extremely handy, as is the ability
to view/edit files during file transfers.  But, since a lot
of my connect time is spent doing file transfers, looks like
I'm gonna have to go back to Procomm (or maybe Telix...I've
heard some good things about that package too).

So why am I posting this drivel you might ask?  Well, I'm
hoping that either someone has an idea about where things
might be screwed, or can confirm that Telemate has problems.
I seriously doubt the latter, but you can never be sure.
Email or posted replies are fine, I can usually keep up with 
this group.  Thanks!
