Now here's something interesting... I downloaded a 700k plus binary with Zmodem
last night, without a hitch, using v1... Is the Gandalf to VAX telnet set for
8-bits, perchance? I got decent performance (a little under 1600 Bytes/sec) and
the file I brought down worked just fine. Did I just get very lucky? Or has
someone changed the default telnet to 8-bits now?
