[comp.sys.mac.comm] MacLayers file transfer problems

I have two nagging problems with MacLayers (Mac SE to Sun SPARCStation-1),
that prevent me from using it.

    1. I've tried using MacLayers to download, but to no avail. I inevitably
    get 10 error retries, sometimes after a couple of blocks have
    transferred, sometimes with no blocks moved. I've placed our
    communications lines in raw mode, so all non-printing characters will
    pass.

    2. MacLayers (on the terminal emulator side) does not allow ctrl-s and
    ctrl-q to be transmitted. They seem to always be interpreted as flow
    control characters. This wreaks havoc with Emacs.

Any suggestions?
