I know this question should be addressed to my local system's
consultant, but I have, and they weren't able to help.  I should
have known by now...It's pointless to ask Apple II related questions
to non-Apple II people, kinda like taking your Porche 911 Carrera 4
to a Yugo dealer and expect them to help you out :-)

So, here is the question:

I am having a heck of a rough time uploading to my Unix account.
I have a Rom 1 GS, using Proterm 3.0 and SupraFAXmodem v.32bis (14.4).
Downloads are fine, I can use zmodem (sz) ymodem-G (sb) normal
ymodem batch, xmodem, etc. but for the life for me, I can't upload!
Not even with kermit!  I get an average of 1600+ cps on compressed
files when downloading (the local dial port supports 9600, not 14.4,)
and as high as 3000 cps for text files.

The consultant has suggested that I try altering the "terminal setting"
of the port before I actually login to one of the unix machines, and
I have, to no avail.

This is the setting (hopefully this will mean something to someone)

I've tried changing the flowcontrol to hardware for both
in and out, but it doesn't matter, and I have the correct
hardware handshaking cable for the modem.

It's frustrating, since I am unable to upload anything to the ftp's
and there are actually a few things that I have that might be of
interest to someone.

Please help me if you can, and if I have offended anyone by asking
this question of c.s.a2, please accept my apologies in advance.  I
am desperate!
