I had the same problem when I tried to use the default buffer size of 16K.  The
first 16K would transfer correctly and write to disk, but after a couple more K
the transfer would abort with the VAX returning a "device not in configuration"
error.  If I change it to a 10K buffer, the downloads go smoothly.  I don't
know why this happens - it may be VLT or it may be XPRZmodem.  Kind of related
question to this: does anyone know the VLT script/init command to set up an
external protocol and send commands to it (ie. so I could have my init file
change the buffer size to 10K so I don't have to do it by hand everytime I want
to download)?
