Xmodem/Ymodem -> Uniterm (Sun -> Atari ST) Problem

Has anyone had any success downloading from a Sun 3/180 SunOS 3.2
using the BSD version of xmodem (v3.6) using the ymodem batch
protocol? I am using Simon Poole's Uniterm (v2.0e) on an Atari
1040ST, and it *ALWAYS* craps out on the second file in either 128b
or 1Kb packet size. [Update: it also bombed on patch.arc as the
first file -- it happens to be the largest file.]
Here is copy of my xmodem.log:

XMODEM Fatal Error: Too many errors in transmission
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
I have the following set-up in the Uniterm File Transfer Dialog Box:
Timeout after: 10 sec
Max # of errors: 10
Accept Ascii NULL: YES
Packet size: 1024
Error check: CRC
Has anybody had success with ymodem in this version of xmodem? I
don't know whether to suspect the Sun side or the Atari side.
Any clues?
