Ah ha!
 
Try this one:  Dial up using N81 as you have in the past, but when the data
switch answers, DON'T hit the [ENTER] (or [RETURN]) key.
 
Instead, type a semi-colon (;).  This will make the switch respond in 8 bit
mode.  Then chose class V1.  Your download should be fine.
 
I've had numerous problems with class MIAVX1 as you described, but I use the
above solution now for all of my logins and downloads, at 14.4K, with extras
enabled.  No problems encountered.
