- i've had this problem as well, it only occurs (but is reliable) when I
- do serious disk accesses during the download (esp. un-lha'ing fairly
- long files). i think it's possible it only occurs when i'm doing
- writes. i have been using xprzmodem v2.51 (the latest on wuarchive)
- and will switch to 2.52 to see if that helps, although the readme file
- said it was a very minor update. not sure what the relevant variable
- might be, but i'm running vlt 5.576 as welll, on an a2000 w/40MHz 030,
- transmitting up to 14,400 with compression on a supra modem, and my
- disk is a Quantum 120LPS off a GVP controller. i should mention that
- i've always suspected xprzmodem as the culprit, just because it's been
- buggy in other ways as well. but if someone's gotten it to work,
- maybe not.
