Can someone tell me which (if any) Mac terminal programs (PD, shareware, or
commercial) support X-modem 1K? I have looked at several, and none of the
ones I have looked at seem to support it. VersaTerm Pro seems to come the
closest, as it has a checkbox under "XModem Options..." for "1024 Byte YModem
Blocks" but when I talk to it with a program known to support X-modem 1K, the
transmission occurs with 128-byte packets.
Feel free to respond via email if this is an oft-asked question.
Thanks,

I use VersaTerm and select "Text Ymodem" or "Binary Ymodem" depending on the type of file that I download. The host machine is a Sun SPARCstation 1 running SunOS 4.1. The particular command is "sx" which implements the sending of Xmodem protocol. Using the "-k" option insures that 1K packets are being sent. Watching the dialog box in VersaTerm indicates that 1K packets are, in fact, being transmitted. My guess is that your problem is on the host end, and not with VersaTerm.
