	Hi, to all you FTPers HELP!!!. I've attempted to FTP files from 
cica.cica.indiana.edu for use with Windows 3.0 . Most of these files are in the
.ZIP format. The files are FTPed to a SUN workstation running 4.1.1 O/S. The    
files are then transfered via modem to my home IBM compatible computer. I use   
the binary mode of transfer during the FTP session. To send the files from the
SUN to the  IBM I use Zmodem or  KERMIT protocols (both in binary modes).

	1. My first problem is many files when I attempt to run PKUNZIP
	   I get ZIP file error and to run PKZIPFIX. The PKZIPFIX does
	   not fix my problem and the file it creates can not be decompressed.

	2. Transfering the files via modem using ZMODEM protocol I get
	   CRC and BAD BLOCK errors after he first 1024K or 2048K for 
	   most files. My CPS after that goes down to 18 or 36 and the
	   transfer gets abandoned after this.

If there exists a person(s) with any help or suggestions please email me or
post to the net. Since I have not seen other postings I may be the only case
that this occurance is plaguing. Oh, and if anyone can recommend a communication
package with XMODEM,YMODEM,ZMODEM for the UNIX SUN O/S please send me the name
and FTP site.

Thanks in advance,
