I am not a potential GENIE customer so I don't want to get very
involved with this. I have done XMODEM transfers from The Source, using
XMODEM via Telenet (at least I think I did - I've since switched to
KERMIT). I don't believe any special DataPac settings were required
(i.e.  if special settings were needed they were established by The
Source).

I've also done XMODEM transfers from CompuServe via Telenet. This
was more difficult. Some Datapac parameters did have to be set
(probably transparent mode and early packet forwarding). In addition it
was necessary to use an XMODEM program that had relaxed timeouts -
PC-TALK was the program I used.
