Ok... This is PROBABLY the reason why. Procomm+'s protocols DON'T WORK!
I am suprised that you got 20 blocks. I have tried to use PC+ transfering
with several other machines (UNIX and MS-DOS). In most situations, PC+ will
allow you to download, but not upload. I don't know why, but PC+ has problems
with most of it's protocols, including XMODEM (how does one mess up XMODEM?).
My suggestion is to you to use TELIX. It is much like PC+, but WORKS. It is
also public domain/shareware. It also comes with ZMODEM (which is faster than
YMODEM, IMHO). I have uploaded/downloaded to a directly connected 385/25 UNIX
box at 38400baud. The unix box was using rz...
Hope that helps.
