a few months ago, I asked the list for a guide to doing XMODEM
transfers through a TAC from a TOPS-20 machine (the one at MIT-XX)
using MODEM.  The one concrete suggestion I got was to say SNQ instead
of S to do the download.  It didn't work.

I have no trouble downloading using MODEM on TOPS-20 to download when
I talk directly on a dial-up line to the TOPS-20 machine.

My problem is that when I attempt to download through the TAC, I get
the message "bad header in record 1", "bad header in record 2", etc
until my MODM700 program quits on me.

Any suggestions?

Thanks.
