I would check which com port you are using your modem on.  From what I
understand, Procomm does not allow binary transfers when on com port 3.

Why, I don't know.  I heard this from my brother who has much more
experience with these things than I do.  He switches to another comm
software to do transfers from UNIX machines.  I think he uses a program
called MIRROR.  He also uses QMODEM but I'm not sure if he can transfer
with this software or not.  If you would like to find out more from him,
please email me your questions and I will ask him.
