   Regarding the lower transfer rates:

     If the modem is a MNP5 modem, and you are going in through a packet
switch to get to the VAX, be sure to turn off the MNP5 compression.  With it
on, it really causes delays (similiar to your figures) when transmitting or
receiving data or files.  To make sure, try the command: AT%C0 to you modem
to turn it off.  Also, when sending via Zmodem with the 'sz' command
in many instances you will need to add the -e switch to escape all control
characters.
    SO:  1) before dialing the modem: AT%C0
         2) use : sz -e filename when sending a file

    Also, for receiving a file to your ST from the vax, be sure you Zmodem
is set to receive 'escaped control chars'.

    One final note on Zmodem vs kermit, is your data connection to the vax
a 7-e or 8-n connection?  If it is 7-e , you most likely will have to stick
with kermit.

    Hope this helps.
