I need information on how MODEM (specifically on a PC) handles
a file that is not an even multiple of the record size (128 bytes).
I have written send and receive routines that implement MODEM's
protocol.  The transfer goes without any problem.  When I look at
the received file though (assuming it was a text file) there is a lot
of garbage at the end.  How is the sending routine supposed to tell
the receiving routine that there isn't a full record of data being
sent (ie, where to put an EOF).

Also, does anyone know the protocol used by MODEM for sending/receiving
in batch mode?


	Thanks in advance,
