That isn't entirely true. xmodem, like uucp, requires a transparent 
data path, so one which has XON/XOFF flow control in effect will not work.
MT has two modem pools to get around this very problem, the LZ modem pool
does not have flow control so should work, and HO *used* to offer two modem
pools. Maybe something changed, or you aren't using the right one.
