The Macintosh uses a carriage return as an end of line character, Unix
uses a line feed.
Some of the protocols do the conversion automatically, (macget -u, kermit
from Columbia) others do not, (MacTerminal Text REMOVES line feeds only
when following a carriage return).

Xmodem does nothing but transfer.  After transfering to unix I
execute the following:
% tr "\015" "\012" < inputfile > outputfile

Prior to downloading from unix I execute the following:
% tr "\012" "\015" < inputfile > outputfile

This should take care of your problem.
