I use VersaTerm and select "Text Ymodem" or "Binary Ymodem" depending
on the type of file that I download.  The host machine is a Sun
SPARCstation 1 running SunOS 4.1.  The particular command is "sx" which
implements the sending of Xmodem protocol.  Using the "-k" option
insures that 1K packets are being sent.  Watching the dialog box in
VersaTerm indicates that 1K packets are, in fact, being transmitted.
My guess is that your problem is on the host end, and not with
VersaTerm.
