For file transfer I find that using Xmodem or Ymodem is better.  If you have
a terminal program for your c128 that does either then you can get C-sources
for your Vax that does xmodem(checksum and CRC), ymodem, ymodem batch, and
xmodem batch from:

j.cc.purdue.edu
uunet.uu.net
26.0.0.74  (Simtel-20)

Just anonymous ftp the sources and compile and you'll have xmodem for your vax.
You may have to turn off xon/xoff control using the stty command on your vax
to get it to work (I usually don't have to, but some people have had trouble).
