I am having problems transferring programs(mainly uudecoded stuff)
from unix vax to an Amiga. I am using Online's XMODEM facility and the unix
xmodtran program!. When sending files from the unix by doing:
xmodtran <filename> and putting the Amiga in XMODEM RECEIVE this starts to
transferr the program okay but locks up after transferring about 40 blocks or
so. This means anything that is sent down the net, I can't have!!!!.
Things like othello and Gravity Wars and all the other uuencoded stuff is
just sitting in my area teasing me.
Therefore, would some kind soul please send me kermit or a uuencoder/decoder
program on a jellopy(floppy). I would be so greatful and forever in your
debt. I will pay all costs etc.

This means anything that is sent down the net, I can't have!!!!. Are you setting your xmodemtran properly? Usually you have to set the file transfer type to binary with a -b option. Note that this is a local feature, and you may not have this option. The problem might be that you're only sending the lower bits for each byte in the uuencoded file. to see if you have the -b option on your system, just type xmodemtran by itself, and it should come back with a list of options. This is how our xmodem program works, and yours may be different. Another problem might be that you're connecting your Amiga to your system through a noisy phone line that is screwing up the transfer. I have no idea, though. Hopefully, it's the -b option....
