	The vax does not typically have inherent routines for
upload/download other than Kermit (which I think stinks). Often Kermit is
slower than even 128 byte Xmodem on our systems. Also, Zterm 0.85 does not
support Kermit at all.

	I do know of a Xmodem routine that is available via anonymous FTP
from sites like Sumex-Aim@stanford.edu that is called vax-xbin. It allows
Xmodem transfers with the vax. Having used this program before, there are a
few things you should be wary of when using it, such as that your vax
should be set for 8 bits, no parity, 1 stop bit (8N1 settings).

	If you cannot find this, please e-mail to me, and I will try to
send it to you.
