In my last posting I asked for help downloading but got more questions
than I expected.  Here are some specifics...

I am using Procom version 2.4.2, running a Leading Edge with an internal
Hayes 1200 modem, my local (pc) line settings are 1200,E,7,1.
The most common download protocol I use is xmodem on the vax.  Procedure
is basically 'xmodem -sb <filename> ;  [pg-dn] (to dowload in procomm)
select the protocol, then type the lename and away it goes...
When the file is received to my local sys it does not function properly,
(ie executable file lock up the whole sys, and zip file do not unzip well)
Suggestions have been made regarding parity and word length settings...
I checked most of these, but have still not successfully downloaded an
excutable file effectively.

I hope this is enough info to help.

Any suggestions would be helpful.
