  This question has more to do with XMODEM then vt100.
BTW, I do realize that I am using an old version of vt100 
but it has worked fine until now.  What I want to know is
how the XMODEM protocol works - nothing technical just
the basics. I have used Kermit and ASCII with no problem
but when I do XMODEM transfers I get garbage.  Does XMODEM
pack things so I need to unpack the file?  Is this a bug 
in vt100 or am I incorrectly using XMODEM?

  I tried downloading files from the Steve Jackson Games BBS
which supported the XMODEM and XMODEM/CRC protocols.  I selected
XMODEM for the transfer.  Should I have used XMODEM/CRC instead?
