Subject: problem with MODEM221

Does anyone know what's happening to me in the following situation?  I
was trying to download a semi-large file this morning, and the MODEM
program (on my end) kept cancelling out.  This happened to me three
times, and I finally gave up.

And it always seemed to happen in the same place: I would transfer the
first 128 blocks correctly, and MODEM221 would write them to disk.
In the meantime, LMODEM would time out  and start sending the last
block again (I assume), which would cause an overrun error when MODEM221
started looking at the modem line again.  MODEM221 would successfully
recover, but after another 128 blocks, would again start writing to
disk, and LMODEM would again time-out and start sending the block
again, which would again cause  an overrun error.  This time, however,
MODEM221 wouldn't recover, and announced that it had been canceled.

Any idea what's happening?
