It is sometimes a bit tricky to decode modem manuals and tip sheets.
When they say "upload in text mode", they might not mean what you think.
In the "send" command above, try replacing the word "send" with with
"transmit".
And be sure to set C-Kermit and the modem to RTS/CTS (hardware) flow control.
