Easy! Switch to Zmodem! :) This may have been rehashed before, and I know Miami
doesn't officially "support" Zmodem (we have to pander to the lowest common
denominator, after all), but am I the only one who is having a problem with
Zmodem getting a time out and then getting a message "Device Offline or not in
configuration" message? At that point I'm locked up completely and have to hang
up and dial back in. Thank God that Zmodem has resume features! :) I have found
that by doing
 
SET TERM /UNK
 
reduces the problem, but it still occurs now and then (avg ~= once per 500K
downloaded)
