I personally haven't heard of such a patch existing yet.  It MIGHT be
an easy patch if you knew the internals of ProTERM.  It possibly might
take a change in only a few bytes to make it work.

Well, last time I checked, there DID exist a 4K Xmodem.  If I'm not
mistaken, Morgan Davis did a document outlining the protocol.  That
was a few years ago too.  If you contact him (mdavis@pro-sol.cts.com),
he'd probably send you a copy.
