OK, I have had this problem for awhile, and I finally decided to post
about it.  I Connect to the VAX at 14.4, 8-bit so I can use Z-modem protocol.
I get about 1500-1600 bps with flow/error control, but after 150k of data has
been downloaded, I get errors, everything freezes and I have to disconnect.
Later, I was told that this was due to the GANDALF data switch, and not the
VAX.  I was under the impression that at 14.4, data transfers to your home
computer are faster than GANDALF can get the data from the VAX due to the
increased user load.  Therefore, once the 150k buffer on GANDALF is depleated,
everything locks up.
        Is this the correct hypothesis into the situation?  Has anybody else
noticed this?  One fact of note, if I connect at a lower rate, like 9600, I get
no errors during dowload.  Any suggestions or comments?
