As for converting .COM files to .HEX files, why bother?  I have
written an easy program which takes any file as input, and types
the .HEX output at you from the BBS.  True, there is no instant
CRC checking as with XMODEM, but .HEX files do contain checksums on
each line, so any errors will be detected eventually.
