Can't cu to telebit:

I am having problems cu'ing a remote telebit modem at 1200 bps using
the 3B1 internal modem.  I can log in and send short transmissions OK,
but if I try "ls -l /" or a "~%take x" what I get is half garbage. (
~%put works fine ) It's as if the DC1/DC3 being sent at my end doesn't
stop transmission from the telebit end fast enough and my buffers get
overflowed.  We've tinkered with settings, but I can't find a way to
work around this.  I can cu a non-telebit modem with no problem.  Any
ideas or similar experiences?

Use US robotics instead of internal modem?:

As an alternative, I am trying to get cu working with a non-supported
modem (US Robotics Courier 2400). Has anyone done this?  Does anyone
know if this modem matches any of the modems supported by the 3B1
setup?  If it doesn't, does that mean there's no way I can make it
autodial? are the autodialing codes hard-coded into cu for each
modemtype or are they in a file somewhere?

Substitute program for cu?:

As another alternative, does anyone know of a terminal emulation
program for the 3B1 that has file upload/download capability?
