I've been using VLTjr for a few weeks and it's great!  Willy is a god.
The capability to use scripts is phenomenal.  Enough palpitating! ;)

I have the latest version from the stanford accelerator site, and
the printed manual.  (Great mail turnaround time, too!)  I have the
xpr modules from there as well, so hopefully I have everything
one would think I should have.

My problem- the Ymodem protocol doesn't seem to work.  I have BaudBandit,
the commercial telcomm program, that can connect to my Sun 4 host just
fine, and I can transfer files from the unix with a:

xmodem sbyk <filelist or pattern>

and BaudBandit handles it fine. (BTW, sbyk= send binary ymodem 1K blocks)
VLTjr will get the first file name of the list, transfer about 9 1K
blocks of it _with no errors_, then crash out.  Anyone heard of this?
It's not near the end of the file, or anything like that, and I've tried
several files and file types.

I can also use VLTjr with the xmodem xpr module and no problems.  So,
I don't think it's just something simple and stupid like parity or stop
bits.  There's something special about the way the unix ymodem talks to
VLTjr.  Has anyone had this problem?  If not, I'll log some of the transfers
and post the log files.

Thanks for the help, I hope.
