I have been struggling with the xmodem program for quite a while now.
I've tried to use it (version 3.4) to send data to my home computer.
The problem is that, no matter whether I use xmodem, ymodem, or
modem7; no matter if I use 128 bytes or 1K packets; no matter if I use
CRC or not, it ALWAYS stops sending at packet #19.  I get bad blocks
at the receiver end (my home computer), and the other side remains silent.
Usually I can't kill xmodem, too, so I have to hang up the line and log
in again.

Does this sound at all familiar?  I have no problems with kermit but
that it is too slow.
