I've been getting a lot of CRC checksum errors from stuff I ftp'ed from
sumex and from comp.binaries.mac.  I use Telnet 2.3.4 to get stuff off
my unix account to the Mac.  All this time I have been using the SE/30's
in USC's computing labs since they decode and unstuff faster.  Purely by
luck one day, I had to use a old Mac II and voila, everything worked!
I've also tried ftp'ing the same files from sumex on a SE and a SE/30.
The SE/30 would give me an CRC checksum error everytime while the SE, A LOT
slower, decoded and unstuffed the files correctly.  What gives?  I don't
know if this helps anyone out there but I would try downloading (via
Telnet anyways) on a non-68030 machine.  Don't know why it works but it does...
