I have been using the following pieces for the last couple of weeks with no
problems:  RedRyder V7.0, 128K mac (believe it or not!), xbin (version 2.3),
macbin (no version number - posted around the end of February), "xmodem"
(version 1.0) on the Unix machine, and a 1200-baud modem.  

Make sure 'xmodem' on the unix end is ready and waiting before you tell
RedRyder to start an xmodem download - it seems to have problems otherwise.
