Hello Shawn,

I have your workaround here for mTel. I think's the same issue with a buggy
ZModem implementation.  I switched over to YModem-G without issue.  It's not
that big of a deal but I want to let my callers know that there may be issues.

I've discovered when downloading a QWK packet using HyperTerminal with ZModem,
HT's buggy Zmodem causes a data corruption and you lose the whole packet.

I understand that only too well...
