I had that problem too, but I found (with the help of some good people on the
net) a execelet solution to the problem.  I was given a copy of a program
called 'xmodem' that runs on the unix system.  With it, I can activate
file transfers to my 64 via modem with the following protocols.

XMODEM checksum
XMODEM crc
XMODEM 1k
XMODEM modem7 batch
YMODEM batch

I use a program called C-Term, but its part of my BBS wich is comerical software
and supports all those protocos, but the only one that I can make work
is Xmodem 1K.  I wish I could do batch transfers, but for some silly reason
my commodre Ymodem stuff requires the file name to have a comma and a type
indicator ("filename,s").  Since unix does not send this extiosion, my
ymodem never initiates the transfer.  Anyone know of a working terminal
that works with Ymodem.  (Actually W O R K S, not just has the slelection in
the menu?)

At any rate, I was able to obtain this 'xmodem' program via the AFS system.
Im am on this system, but I dont know the exact procedure, but everyone on
AFS should have access to my unix directory, feel free to snatch it!
