[comp.sys.mac.programmer] download prob

I have problems downloading from a Unix system to my Mac.  I say
xmodem sa filename, for example, use recv in SmartCom on the Mac and it
repeatedly hangs after the 16th block.  Most of the time this works fine,
but once it gets into this stuck mode, relogging in, restarting, and
rebooting don't help.  Different xmodem modes hang also.  xmodem.log
says timeouts, etc.  Turning the Mac off for a second doesn't fix it 
but waiting a minute or more seems to!

I've tried many things, including running without MultiFinder, changing
the app mem size, quitting other apps, and calling numerous customer
support numbers.  I can't find anything which gets it into this state
either.

Anybody had this problem?  Any ideas?  Any reason to believe removing
inits would help?  Thanks.
