    If the Sparcstation has a modem that has a buffer and the hand
shakeing isn't setup properly, you will need to reduce the Zmodem
window size to smaller than the buffer.  (I have found that systems
with trailblazers may have this problem.)  You can experiment with
the window size by using the '-w<n>' switch.  'n' will be something
like 512 or 1024, etc.  With trailblazers I use -w2048.
